European Jazz Orchestra
The European Jazz Orchestra is an orchestra composed of young musicians from European countries, touring the Continent for three weeks and presenting a series of concerts under the aegis of the Danish-based organization Swinging Europe and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). Each year the band has a completely new line-up: new musicians, new composers and a new conductor.
From 2011 Hugo Sekoranja (EBU) will be the new Artistic director of the European Jazz Orchestra and we are welcoming him.
