Instructors

The musicians of the ensembles meet twice a year for intensive orchestra camps. New arrangements, which are often written exclusively for the big-band, are rehearsed under the direction of Wolfgang Diefenbach and well-known jazz musicians as instructors.

Collaborations with instructors from the international jazz scene are an important feature of the rehearsals. This concept has proven valuable during the formation of the band and is still valid today: first-class instructors communicate the spirit of jazz!
