FUCHSTHONES nominated for German Jazzaward 2025 in the category “Large Ensemble of the Year”

…and in the shortlist!

The FUCHSTHONE ORCHESTRA was nominated for the German Jazz Award for the first time in 2021, when our ensemble had only existed for a year! Well, at that time we sadly didn’t win the prize, but four years later we are thrilled to be shortlisted again and among the nominees. In the meantime, the FUCHSTHONE Orchestra’s profile has evolved and refined and can certainly compete with the previous award winners: 2021: Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra 2022: Trickster Orchestra2023: Potsa Lotsa In 2024, the ‘Large Ensemble’ category was not even included in the competition, which led to some protest, so it was reintroduced in 2025. Very much to our delight, as in difficult times for the arts such as now, a nationwide cultural award is of vital importance! Not just for us, of course, this is true for the entire scene and for each individual ensemble, for which such an award means not only financial support, but above all a special recognition with radiance on the national and international stage. By the way, three other fantastic ensembles have been nominated in the category ‘Large Ensemble of the Year’, and we would also like to congratulate them here: Brigade Futur III, Carl Wittigs Aurora Oktett andSonic Interventions.
