In 2020 and 2021, the top Czech big band Jazz Dock Orchestra has twice engaged with contemporary classical music written by young composers - composition students from HAMU in Prague and JAMU in Brno. After the success of this project, the Archa Theatre presents its third continuation.  
 
Six premieres of compositions written directly for the orchestra will be performed. How will the meeting of sophisticated scores and extra-jazz concepts with opulent sound, rhythmic drive and unbridled improvisation turn out?
