The FUCHSTHONE ORCHESTRA’s Reloaded #7 tour with Evi Fillipou began in Frankfurt, continued via Düsseldorf and Dinslaken to Singen, and then via Munich and Freiburg back to Cologne. It was a fantastic experience—even though it’s quite a challenge for a self-financed large ensemble that relies on cultural funding, with 23 musicians and sound engineers traveling across the country. But everyone enjoyed the tour. And the audience rewarded the growing enthusiasm with loud applause every evening.

The press wrote:

  • Real music made by real musicians.“
    Gerneralanzeiger-Bonn
  • “The Fuchsthone Orchestra is on tour, this time with the amazing musician Evi Filippou on vibraphone and percussion. With new compositions by Christina Fuchs and Caroline Thon, the orchestra thrilled the audience at the Jazzschmiede in Düsseldorf..“
    Uwe Bräutigam, nrwjazz.net (->read german article)
  • “And from Cologne, the magnificent Fuchsthone Orchestra with vibraphone shooting star Evi Philippou as special guest.“
    Süddeutsche Zeitung
  • “Rich in textures, brilliant arrangements, and soloistic highlights, the ensemble fascinates with its clear-sighted anchoring in the present and its visionary focus on the future.“
