Tian for Big Band

Finally, I have put my year-long dream into reality, and have begun to arrange my compositions for big band. The results can be admired at www.myspace.com/tianbigband (audio and video). It still depends on sponsors how the band will continue. For now, there is a presentation of the repertoire in a reduced combo line-up. Also, three compositions will be played by the Grand Central Orchestra of Cologne in on September 16.

Concert series "Grenzenlos: Weltmusik in Cologne-Kalk" starts!
