TTE Live: Arthur Street Loft Orchestra feat. Joshua Simon

Jazz Aotearoa and The Third Eye present: The Arthur Street Loft Orchestra - a creative residency in the heart of Te Aro.



Each week we present the music of a different composer (or composers) performed by an eclectic array of large ensembles. From introspective 10-piece chamber groups, to full throated 17-piece big bands, to 20+ piece jazz orchestras with strings, The Arthur Street Loft Orchestra is a unique and dynamic series of concerts, and the only thing to be doing on a Monday night in Wellington.



This concert features the music of Saxophonist/Composer Joshua Simon, presenting a suite of Balkan-inspired music adapted for 10-piece ensemble that draws on influences such as Beirut, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Besh O Drom and Taraf de Haidouks. Featuring:
