About

The famous orchestra named after Oleg Lundstrem brings back the golden age of jazz to the stage: from soft ballads to driving swing numbers. The signature sound, the live sound of a large ensemble, and the history of the collective turn the evening into a celebration for those who love vibrant rhythms, live improvisations, and the spirit of old big bands. When the state chamber orchestra of jazz music named after Oleg Lundstrem takes the stage, the audience finds themselves inside the living history of the genre. The collective began its journey in Harbin and Shanghai, survived the change of eras and decades, while remaining true to jazz and the excitement of large big bands. Today, each program of the orchestra resembles a chapter of a great novel, where each piece has its own character and role. That evening, recognizable standards and hits, with which many began their acquaintance with jazz, will be performed. The repertoire includes pieces from the programs of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Ted Jones, as well as numbers associated with the name Oleg Lundstrem. The change of composers turns the concert into a journey through different schools and styles of sound: from dense swing to lyrical ballads, from light dance melodies to more complex orchestral pages. For regular listeners, such meetings provide a reason to hear their favorite themes again in live performance, and for those taking their first steps towards jazz, it serves as a tangible guide to the "golden era" of the genre. Before the audience's eyes, the very big band sound, familiar from old recordings, comes to life. A powerful brass section, flexible saxophones, and a rhythm section confidently keeping the pulse of the hall - each instrument is important in the overall picture and adds its colors. At the podium stands the artistic director and chief conductor of the orchestra, Boris Frumkin. He structures the program so that recognizable melodies and lesser-known compositions coexist in one concert, and the change of moods occurs smoothly and logically. In his interpretation, the collective acts as a single organism: precise strokes, attentive work with dynamics and pauses maintain a sense of movement and freedom.
