Wynton Marsalis "All Rise"
Classical music meets jazz with the hr-Bigband, the MDR Radio Choir, the MDR Symphony Orchestra and Kristjan Järvi (conductor).
The 23rd MDR Music Summer begins with an energetic crossover concert in the halls of the Erfurt Exhibition Center. In his large-scale "All Rise," jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis combines a wide variety of styles into an ingenious body of work. And the instrumentation also reflects the crossover idea: MDR Symphony Orchestra and MDR Radio Choir are on stage together with the hr Big Band, led by MDR Principal Conductor Kristjan Järvi. The concert will be broadcast by MDR Figaro, on MDR television and on the web.
