Fischermanns Orchestra are a 9 piece jazz ensemble from Switzerland. They have been together for 15 years, and have played more than 300 concerts on four continents.
Audiences can expect to be absolutely captivated by their music - archaic, rumbling orchestral sound resounds with blaring brass fanfares, punk vocals, delicate electronic sounds, and rousing grooves!
Fischermanns Orchestra performs with such joy, which is rare these days. Yet, it is precisely this joy of playing that is the essence of all music, capable of touching the heart.
- Niklaus (Knox) Troxler, Jazz in Willisau
Line Up:
Thomas Reist (Bass Drum, Drums, Band Leader)
Samuel Hopfengärtner (Trumpet)

Sebastian Strinning (Tenor Sax)
Simon Petermann (Trombone)

Elia Aregger (Guitar)

The Fischermanns Orchestra manages seemingly effortlessly to create splendid moments of collective happiness by wildly challenging themselves and the audience, playing unpredictable performances of fairly complex music.
