Wednesday Night Prayer Orchestra

Big band on little stage – The Wednesday Night Prayer Orchestra meets regularly at the Viennese club to celebrate orchestral jazz. Because that's what big bands do. And against all odds that come with such an undertaking, the 16 musicians around composer Ludwig Bekic play their current compositions and weave their adaptations of delicacies from legendary big band greats into their lively repertoire. Be right there when this hard-working band refines its sound before your very eyes and fills the small club with improvisations full of euphoric joy.
