A WORLD SYMPHONY

In 2020, we put all our energy into the biggest CD production in the history of our orchestra. Recorded in the most beautiful and best studios in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Europe, not only our heart and soul has gone into everything here, but also the best recording technology of a fantastic audio team around Markus Born & Dennis Kopacz.

For this production we were able to record such diverse and fascinating singers as Jay Alexander, Abeer Nehme, Yasemine Sannino, Oksana Voytovich, Eve Leticia, Jerusalem Ilfu, Mohamad Habbal, Serkan Ates & Kandara Diebate. The result is a concept album comparable to the great albums of the 70s by Pink Floyd, David Bowie and the Beatles.

It is a great honor for us that Universal Music MENA has released our album.

With this program, the “Orchestra of Cultures” looks back on its first ten years and at the same time looks forward to the future. Sacred works such as the “Ave Verum” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in an extraordinary arrangement by Adrian Werum are juxtaposed with cross-cultural symphonic pop songs such as “Sonbahar” and “Für mein neues Vaterland.”

Tenor Jay Alexander, who has lent his voice to the orchestra for many years, sets new artistic accents with Robert Schumann’s “Im wunderschönen Monat Mai.”

But also Abeer Nehme, one of the most beautiful voices of the contemporary Orient, is part of this world tour, as well as Mohammad Habbal and the Philharmonia Chor Stuttgart with their fusion of the Arabic hymn “Mouteni” and Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”. “Recorded at the Kleine Audiowelt in Heidelberg and at the Hans Rosbaud Studios of the SWR in Baden-Baden, mastered by Christoph Stickel in Vienna, we were united on this CD – recording technology and art as we always imagined it,” says Adrian Werum.
