Maria Baptist leads a dynamic sixteen-piece ensemble in an evening that merges classical and jazz idioms. The ensemble—anchored by Fabian Timm on bass and Moritz Hamm on drums, with an expansive reed and brass section—performs compositions that "bring fugues, concertos, and suites into dialogue with jazz improvisation."

This is a monthly residency series that has anchored the Kunstfabrik Schlot for over a decade, making it one of Berlin's most enduring jazz-classical fusion experiments. The orchestra features:
