Why the Third Orchestra?
The first orchestra: Formal, set roles, set forms, hierachical. The symphony orchestra, the jazz big band.
The second orchestra: A meets B, East meets West, Jazz meets Classical. Where players might come as representatives. Perhaps might be interested in fusion.
The third orchestra: Beyond the binary, a place where each individual brings their own story.
They might be a Korean traditional player who also is very experienced in free improvisation. An Indian musician born in London. A jazz musician using live electronics. A composer who studied in Java.
Not so much fusion, rather we reflect the experience, sensibilites and lineage of each person, allowing them to stay being that musician - in an alchemy with the others.
It is led, not from the top, but from the centre.
