The Sonar Kollektiv Orchester was founded in 2007 as a highlight to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Jazzanova’s Sonar Kollektiv label. SKO is an all star band, the personnel consisting of recording artists and performing musicians connected to the label.

Three vocals including Clara Hill, Esther Cowens and Wilson Michaels, four strings, three horns and a full rhythm section! The orchestra, all of them highly skilled musicians of classical or jazz education, is conducted by prolific artist Volker Meitz who has already worked with Dephazz, Wir sind Helden and Rosenstolz amongst many others.

The orchestra’s multifaceted repertoire is a cross selection of tunes from the Sonar Kollektiv label back catalogue.  The new arrangements for the 15 piece ensemble put the tunes into an orchestral context and provide a brand new listening experience!
