United Women's Orchestra

Original and contemporary bigband music

About Me

The United Women's Orchestra started life as a workshop band way back in 1992... and just kept going. One of the few european bigbands with an exclusively original repertoire (written by Hazel Leach and Christina Fuchs) we've made three cd's so far, the most recent being "Virgo Supercluster" featuring Ingrid Jensen on trumpet and flugel: "exciting and creative new music full of intricacy and beauty, presented by stellar players" (Maria Schneider)
