LARGE ENSEMBLE

Somewhere on the spectrum between big band and wind orchestra lies Flo Pfister’s Large Ensemble. With 21 exceptional musicians on stage, the group brings Florian’s compositions to life in a sound that is at once lyrical, expansive and full of power.

Moments of delicate transparency give way to waves of orchestral force; virtuosic solos emerge from the texture only to merge seamlessly back into the collective. Thriving on contrasts, the Band moves effortlessly between shimmering harmonies, bold big band voicings and playful saxophone lines to create a unique, unmistakeable sound.
