Das Marschorchester by Sven-Åke Johansson

For his 70th birthday party, Sven-Åke Johansson united a group of younger and older Berlin improvisors into a marching band that revisited the classics of the genre.

"With its rhythmisation, the Marschorchester takes aim at unsuspected, hidden collective desires of entertainment. On two days in November 2013, it opens up a world of experience you thought was lost forever."
Sven-Åke Johansson
