Erik Truffaz plays with a wide variety of his own formations and as a guest with other ensembles, but has also repeatedly collaborated with classical orchestras
in Bordeaux, Lyon, Lausanne and Toulouse, among other places. In the past, Hermann Ostendarp, on the other hand, has frequently worked with musicians from a wide variety of musical genres, often with jazz musicians such as Iiro Rantala, Nat Su, Peter Herbolzheimer, Lucas Niggli and Rodrigo Botter Maio.
Now, it is both a pleasure and an honour for him and Ensemble 25 that Erik Truffaz has accepted their invitation to collaborate on a joint project. The ensemble will be joined in this project by Truffaz's pianist Estreilla Besson from Paris, percussionists, and a wind section, including trombonist Till Ostendarp and saxophonist Mirjam Scherrer.

Free admission – voluntary contribution

Ensemble 25 consists of dedicated young string players who already played together under the direction of Hermann Ostendarp in the youth orchestra ‘il mosaico’ during their school days, often in small ensembles. Ensemble 25 continues this tradition of playing in smaller ensembles, seeking to
devote itself to a wide variety of styles and explore new avenues of programming. This is achieved through inspiring and challenging collaborations with guest musicians and special soloists.

Concert location: Citykirche Offener St. Jakob, Stauffacherstrasse 34, 8004 Zürich
