Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra

Biography

The Berlin-based Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra is made up of 18 young musicians with a wide variety of musical and cultural roots. Founded in 2006, the group is characterised by “undaunted curiosity and openness to almost anything” (H. Sieverts), playing compositions by ensemble director and saxophonist Daniel Glatzel with extreme precision. The pieces create space, somewhere beyond jazz, new music, classical and pop, for every instrument in their unusual mix. At home in concert halls, jazz clubs and – during joint concerts with the band The Notwist – at  big venues and pop festivals, this unique hybrid of big band, chamber ensemble and prog rock orchestra is an event that mixes up and rearranges expectations and habits.
