MONIKA ROSCHER BIGBAND

Final concert

What is it about?

The rebellious big band from Munich closes this year’s edition of the Łódź of Many Cultures Festival with a concert that is sure to be memorable – intense, unpredictable, and breaking genre and cultural boundaries. Monika Roscher Bigband is a musical force that draws the audience into a thrilling spectacle of sounds, combining math jazz, progressive rock, avant-pop, and electronica into one coherent show.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The band consists of eighteen musicians led by guitarist, vocalist, and composer Monika Roscher—an artist who boldly and charismatically redefines the concept of a jazz orchestra. Their concerts are sonic sabbaths, combining symphonic precision, metal edge, jazz erudition, and feminist energy.

By whom?

Monika Roscher – guitarist, composer, band leader, founder of Zenna Records, artist associated with the contemporary and experimental music scene.

The band consists of outstanding instrumentalists – trumpeters, saxophonists, trombonists, flutists, rhythm section, live electronics – who together form an extremely harmonious and surprising collective.

Selected awards and distinctions:
– German Phonographic Critics Award
– German Jazz Award (Album of the Year, Composition of the Year)
– enthusiastic reviews in Der Spiegel and Jazzthing, among others

Who is it for?
