The Wintergarten Orchestra is an eleven piece ensemble performing the memorable melodies of the Jazz Age in the 1920's and 30's. With male and female vocalists and original period instruments the Wintergarten Orchestra recreates the syncopated music of this golden age with style and humour. Bill Beecroft is the leader/trombonist along with the superb vocal and acting talents of Ted Atherton and Tanya Wills. With the stellar musicianship of our orchestra including two violins, banjo, tuba, reeds, trumpet, piano and percussion, we salute the great bands of this era. Our musical inspiration comes from European and American bands and vocalists such as Ray Noble, Duke Ellington, Leo Riesman, Jack Hylton, Fletcher Henderson, Kurt Weil, Jean Goldkette, Edith Piaf, Lee Wiley, Cab Calloway, Helen Kane, Louis Armstrong, Al Bowley and composers such and Cole Porter, George Gershwin and many others.
The Wintergarten Orchestra blends the music of these great artists into an enjoyable two hours of toe tapping entertainment. So leave your troubles outside and willkommen to the Wintergarten Orchestra.
