About this concert
With Looking Within, Brussels Jazz Orchestra wants to oppose today’s busy, hectic and digital society: together with accordionist Philippe Thuriot, the orchestra creates a repertoire that invites the audience to a contemplative experience.
New whisper-quiet yet powerful compositions are written by Bert Joris, who is familiar with the orchestra’s versatility and has worked with them before on projects like Smooth Shake (2016) and Signs and Signatures (2010). Looking Within brings the audience together in acoustic spaces such as churches, cathedrals and similar venues that match the unique power of this brand new repertoire. During a contemplative experience for both musician and audience, the usual orchestral set up is being questioned.
