Marshall: "The decision to phase out the contract was not easy for me,
because I love to be chief conductor of the WDR radio house orchestra. The
WDR Funkhausorchester is such a versatile orchestra that plays at the
highest level, as you have to spend a lot of time as the chief
conductor. On the other hand, as a musician and conductor, I also travel to concerts in Europe and internationally. I want to focus on that in the future. But I'm very happy to continue as a regular guest of this orchestra, which has grown dear to my heart. "
With "Symphonic Jazz", Wayne Marshall sets a great emphasis in the program. In this series, tailored entirely to Marshall, his love for improvisation and his penchant for American composers are combined.
Highlights this season are under Marshall's direction: Tom Gaebel's "License to Swing", Till Brönner's "Balladen" and "Symphonic Latin" with the old master Paquito D'Rivera. The successful WDR 3 web series "Wayne interess's" has been running for over a year now. In the videos he improvises, tells and explains music from baroque to jazz.
Valerie Weber, WDR Radio Director: "I respect the decision. Although I personally regret that we no longer have this outstanding musician, this wonderful organist and charismatic entertainer as chief conductor. He has inspired the WDR radio house orchestra and played so well that there are now waiting lists for the subscriptions of this season. I'm happy about every production that he is willing to take over as a guest conductor beyond 2020. "
