Jacaranda is an instrumental ensemble that was founded in 1997 and consists of five musicians and soloists from the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra . The ensemble wants to build a bridge between the cultures of the world with its music.
On alphorns , didgeridoos , saxophones , marimba , congas and other percussion instruments, Jacaranda play a mixture of composed and improvised music in which elements from classical , blues , folk and jazz are combined.
