The Orient begins in the Ruhr Area

Since 2003 the world music Transorient Orchestra has been a musical symbol of the melting pot in the Ruhr Metropolis. Musicians from Germany, Iran, Turkey, White Russia, Sweden and Tunisia all contribute to the splendid range of harmonies with their traditional and modern influences from the Occident via the Balkans and the Orient to the Far East, and will be embellishing them with jazz and rock music.
In 2010 the prize-winning orchestra will be strengthening its ranks with the addition of Selim Sesler and his trio. Selim Sesler, one of the best clarinettists on the Turkish music scene, has already participated in a number of different intercultural projects. His extraordinary musical influence first came to general attention in 2005 in Fatih Akin’s documentary film "Crossing the bridge - The sound of Istanbul". The Transorient Orchestra will be joining forces with Selim Sesler to devise a programme of independent arrangements for a series of concerts in the Ruhr Metropolis. Two concerts will result from the workshops, in which the participants will be showing the results of their improvisation workshops.
