Saving a big band
The former ZS Big Band is to be retained as the ORP Big Band. Donations are being sought for this. The next performance with Reto Parolari's orchestra is scheduled for 2019.
At the beginning of 2018, the Winterthur Civil Defence Organization parted ways with its figurehead, the ZS Big Band Winterthur. The Reto Parolari Orchestra (ORP) wrote this in a letter. It has worked with the ZS Big Band for 25 years, whether as part of the U-Musik festival or in joint concerts.
The ORP would like to preserve the ex-ZS Big Band in its current form under the new name ORP Big Band. However, it cannot do this with its own funds. It has therefore launched a fundraising campaign and is hoping for a lot of goodwill and support.
The next performance is planned for November 2019 under the title "An Evening at the Circus".
