Proms: Jazz at the Philharmonic

Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra

A symphony orchestra going of the charts? Yes can do! This concert features both Tchaikovsky and Duke Ellington. Come and experience it yourself.

A symphony orchestra that swings out of its ass, it can be done," wrote the Volkskrant not so long ago after a concert of ours with Lahav Shani as pianist. It was Count Basie's steamy big-band hit The Kid from Red Bank, arranged by Lahav himself, that thrilled orchestra, audience and press alike. High time for more of the same - with Lahav's brother Rom and the legendary WDR Big Band as special guests.
