Boundless Sound in the Isar Philharmonic: When Classical Meets Jazz
On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the Isar Philharmonic at Gasteig HP8 will be the venue for an extraordinary concert experience: The Federal Youth Orchestra and the Federal Jazz Orchestra will meet under the direction of Jonathan Stockhammer. With Malika Tirolien as soloist, symphonic expansiveness merges with big band energy for an evening that consciously dissolves the boundaries between orchestra and jazz band.

Young Top Ensembles, High Aspirations
The Federal Youth Orchestra is regarded as Germany's youngest top orchestra and brings together outstanding talents aged 14 to 19. The Federal Jazz Orchestra stands as a talent forge for the next generation of German jazz and works with a dual artistic leadership. Together, the two ensembles bring a rare mix of precision, joy of playing, and fresh energy to the stage.

A Program Between Swing, Symphony, and Stylistic Friction
The program spans a wide arc from Darius Milhaud's La Création du Monde to Duke Ellington's Night Creature and Leonard Bernstein's Three Dance Episodes from On the Town, as well as works by Wynton Marsalis, Sofia Gubaidulina, Libor Šíma, and contributions from Malika Tirolien and Stefan Behrisch. It is precisely this orchestration of classical sound architecture and jazzy rhythms that makes the evening so enticing: Here, groove-driven attacks, transparent woodwind colors, and orchestral dynamics meet directly.
