What you need to know

About
Two student big bands share one stage: the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory's Big Band, led by Milan Svoboda, and the East West European Jazz Orchestra TWINS from Dortmund, conducted by Uwe Plath. The long-running Czech-German project mixes classic big band numbers with modern jazz and original pieces. For a kid learning an instrument, it's a chance to hear a full horn section up close, played by young musicians.
