Dance project: Swing Symphony

Swing Symphony: The title alone suggests just how electrifyingly energetic this work by jazz legend Wynton Marsalis is, making it ideally suited for a dance project performance as part of the orchestra’s Education Programme in 2010. In addition to the Berliner Philharmoniker and Simon Rattle, the performers included Marsalis himself: a dynamic coming together of classical music and jazz.
