FUCHSTHONE RELOADED #7 (2025/26)
PROJECT
In fall 2025, we invited our second guest artist, the young and brilliant vibraphonist and percussionist Evi Filippou to join the orchestra.
The collaboration was fantastic and energetic from the very first note in rehearsals, through the live concerts of the fall tour, to the studio recording at Hansahaus Studios Bonn with Nico Raschke. It was an extremely inspiring and enriching encounter, both personally and musically, which will continue in 2026 with the CD release concerts.
Christina Fuchs and Caroline Thon composed the program RELOADED #7 specifically for this new lineup. The tour in November was followed by studio recordings in December for the FUCHSTHONE ORCHESTRA’s second album, which will be released in 2026 on the Swiss label UNIT Records (release date May 29, 2026).

With their reloaded # concert series, the FUCHSTHONE ORCHESTRA, in cooperation with the European Center for Jazz and Contemporary Music / Stadtgarten Cologne, pursues the consistent ongoing development of their compositions in a direct exchange with the orchestra.
Mediaecho:
“NEUES PROGRAMM, NEUE KLANGFARBEN – Das neue Programm Reloaded #7 setzt die Tradition des Orchesters fort, dass nur Originalwerke, die die Leiterinnen speziell für das Ensemble geschrieben haben, gespielt wurden. … Das Fuchsthone Orchestra ist eines der wichtigsten Großensembles in der gegenwärtigen Jazzszene. Wobei die Musik weit über die Grenzen des klassischen Jazz und der klassischen Big Band Literatur hinausweist. Das Publikum in der Düsseldorfer Jazz Schmiede war von der Musik gerührt und ergriffen.”
