Lucerne Jazz Orchestra

From 2007 to 2017, the Lucerne Jazz Orchestra under the direction of David Grottschreiber, earned a reputation as one of the most interesting European jazz orchestras. At around 120 concerts in Switzerland and abroad, the ensemble regularly presented new music by young composers from all over Europe, which is documented on seven recordings. I played on the record Berge Versetzen and was part of the management team.
