Jacaranda Ensemble
Five musicians, principals of the Brandenburg Symphony, have put together an unusual ensemble as a result of a desire to experiment with new sounds. The instrumentation of this ensemble clearly demonstrates this idea: Alpenhorn, didgeridoo, saxophone and percussion, instuments whose origins often are thousands of miles apart, which are woven through a mixture of composed and improvised music into a musical tapestry. Through its music, the Jacaranda Ensemble builds a bridge between the cultures of the world. The positive response of the public as well as international respect has confirmed the unusual concept of the Jacaranda Ensemble. Concert tours within Germany and abroad, as well as a positive reaction from the media are the visible results of this artistic endeavor.Jacaranda Ensemble
We see it as our task to unite different kinds of musical genre in our concerts.
We
want
to
loosen,
if
not
completely
break
the
constraints
of
musical
classification.
We
soak
up
the
musical
details
of
the
sounds
of
this
world
and
then
play
with
these.
It
is
of
course
particularly
exciting
for
us
to
perform
our
music
in
the
countries where are inspiration originated.
The
fascination
of
our
sounds
and
melodies
reaches
out
to
all
generations;
it
combines
classic
music
with
jazz,
makes
practiced
ears
listen
and
unites
both
rock and folk music followers.
Feelings,
emotions
and
timeless
and
endless
moments
of
experience
are
what
we
touch
upon.
We
communicate
in
the
oldest
language
of
the
universe,
in
the
unaffected
musical
expression
of
"Esperanto."
It
is
safe
to
say
that
we
contribute
something
new,
exciting
and
undiscovered
to
the
personal
musical
experience of every listener.
This
is
how
we
with
pleasure
can
explain
the
vast
national
and
international
enthusiasm for the music of the JACARANDA ENSEMBLE.

Sebastian Pietsch | saxophone
born in Berlin, was employed by the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra during his studies at
the Academy of Music in Berlin. Along with his task as a solo bassoonist and his performances
as a concert soloist, he increasingly devoted his time to the saxophone. He thus became
involved with various jazz bands and started playing film and theatre music. He got the chance
to join an innovative, young team by joining the JACARANDA ENSEMBLE in 1998. The
collective impressions he gains from concert tours are the main impetus for his musical work.
Richard Mosthaf | didgeridoo, alpenhorn
born in Stuttgart, went from the Academy of Music in Nurnberg to the Brandenburg Symphony
Orchestra in 1991. He has always been fascinated by the sounds and rhythms of other
cultures. He studied the primitive technique of playing the didgeridoo and became enthusiastic
about the alpenhorn. This led him to develop the alpine didgeridoo, which can be regularly
heard in the concerts of the JACARANDA ENSEMBLE.
Thomas R. Hoffmann | alphorn, frenchhorn
born in Berlin, he was aware of the magical powers of music from a very early age thanks to
the influence of his parents. After studying at the Academy of Music in Berlin his commitment
to music led him to the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra. Along with his role as a principle
horn player he dedicated his time to diverse musical projects. Since 1997 the alpenhorn has
become an important focus of his attention. The analysis of the many musical impressions he
gathered whilst on his travels led to the formation of the JACARANDA ENSEMBLE.
Thomas Ringleb | percussion
born in Berlin, he studied at the Academy of Music in Berlin. After finishing his diploma he was
member of the Berlin Radio Orchestra. As a member of various ensembles and orchestras of
the most diverse genres, ranging from classic and rock to jazz, he has been involved in film,
television and cd recordings. The Jacaranda Ensemble has profited since 2003 from his talent,
experience and rhythmic inventiveness.
Matthias Dressler | marimba, percussiom
born in Berlin, he was immediately engaged by the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra after
finishing his exams at the Academy of Music in Berlin. Along with his contribution to concerts
by the orchestra and other well-known organizations, he also dedicated himself to the
production of experimental and cross-over genre music. Big projects such as the Pink Floyd
concert “The Wall” in Berlin in 1990 and the European concert “Metallica and Symphonic” in
1999 have all influenced his artistic career. His desire to become even more creative led to the
creation of the JACARANDA ENSEMBLE.
