Paderborn University's Big Band is extending the tradition of its popular double concerts and inviting not just one, but two befriended Big Bands to give a joint concert in the university's Audimax on Sunday, 18 May, at 6 pm. "Three at one go" is the name of the new format. The "Large Ensemble" of the Detmold University of Music under the direction of David Plate has already been a guest, while the "Big Band" of the Johannes Brahms Music School in Detmold, which is also directed by Georg N. Schmitt, will be performing for the first time. Tickets for the concert cost ten euros and are available from the box office. Admission is free for students and pupils.

The "Big Band" of the Paderborn University under the direction of Georg N. Schmitt demonstrates its stylistic range and the balanced variety of instrumental and vocal arrangements. In addition to Cuban music, swing and pop also find their place in the concert.

The "Big Band" of the Johannes Brahms Music School in Detmold plays big band classics by Count Basie as well as modern literature by Bob Mintzer. What is special about this concert is that for the first time, a composition by the director Schmitt will also be heard. In addition to instrumental pieces, a vocal piece will also be performed.

Under the direction of Plate, the "Large Ensemble" of the Detmold University of Music will dedicate itself to the music of Art Pepper, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. The band plays the original arrangements by Marty Paich for the album "Art Pepper + Eleven", recorded in 1959, including classics of modern jazz. Each track focuses on a different solo instrument from the ensemble's ranks.
