The BJO25 anniversary tour with
Maria Schneider (US)
Last July, she won an NEA Jazz Masters Award, one of the most prestigious honors for an American jazz musician. The prize confirms what the BJO has known for a long time: leader and composer Maria Schneider is one of the premier wizards of today’s jazz scene! Ten years after our last collaboration, it is an honor for BJO to celebrate our 25thbirthday in her company. On the program: Flagey in Brussels (B), deSingel in Antwerp (B), De Doelen in Rotterdam (NL), Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht (NL) and, last but not least, the prestigious Wiener Konzerthaus in Vienna (AT)! Happy birthday BJO! You are invited to the party. Are you coming? More info.

Starting in the month of October, KLM will propose the entire Smooth Shake concert on long carriers, as part of their Music and More program.

You can find highlights from the concert on the BJO Youtube channel. Here is a sneak peak. For the fans of live, there is a possibility to discover this fantastic show on the 26thof September in Charleroi. More info.
