Founded in 1984 by musicians from San Candido, the BIG BAND has undergone a musical development that ranges from Glenn Miller's big band classics to modern arrangements of many jazz, rock and pop standards to premières of original compositions.
The musicians now come from all over South Tyrol, but the BIG BAND has always remained true to its motto: continue to develop, try out new things, but never lose sight of what the audience wants. The group has made a name for itself not only in South Tyrol but also in neighbouring regions and has performed at the jazz festivals in Fiemme and Bruneck as well as in renowned jazz venues such as "Jazzland" in Vienna and "Treibhaus" in Innsbruck.
