Jacaranda Ensemble

For the first time in Kuwait, the German band Jacaranda Ensemble performs in the Recital Hall on April 28. The ensemble offers an intriguing mix of composed and improvised classical music, jazz, and folk tunes. The Jacaranda Ensemble consists of five principal musicians of the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra who are interested in experimenting with new sounds. The ensemble’s instrumentation clearly demonstrates their idea. They play the Alphorn, didgeridoo, saxophone, and percussion.

The Alphorn is a long wooden horn played by Alpine herdsmen and villagers, sounded for intercommunication and at daily ceremonies and seasonal festivals. The didgeridoo is a wind instrument made from hollow wood, originally found in Arnhem Land, Northern Australia and is considered the world’s oldest musical instrument. By bringing diverse instruments from distant regions together, Jacaranda Ensemble connects cultures through music. Their sounds and melodies captivate all tastes and generations; they combine classical music with jazz, while uniting fans of rock and folk music. The concert is held in collaboration with Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany.
