Berlin, Philharmonie Berlin — Kammermusiksaal
About the Event
For over five decades, the Pasadena Roof Orchestra has presented a distinctive sound and has always maintained its class. Their many years of working together on high‐quality swing arrangements have made the eleven orchestra musicians legendary and even earned them an invitation to perform for the Queen.
Since its founding in 1969, the England‐based ensemble has earned a reputation for excellence performing in concert halls in London, New York, Dubai, Munich, Hong Kong, and Barcelona, while continuing to develop its own style, which can be heard on numerous recordings such as “Comedian Harmonists” and “Just a Gigolo.” Like the great bands of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ray Noble, and Fletcher Henderson, these eleven musicians are very close to the sound of the time and present timeless hits from “The Lullaby of Broadway,” “The Tiger Rag,” and “Cheek to Cheek” to “Puttin' on the Ritz” in an authentic and lively manner. It is music that provided the backdrop to events that shook the world, yet is so free and lively that it makes everyone want to dance, and has been doing so for half a century.
Musical director and soloist of the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Duncan Galloway, enriches the shows with humor, wit, and artistic experience.
