cc jop – Christoph Cech Jazz Orchestra Project - Sargfabrik - 2026

Sargfabrik - Verein für integrative Lebensgestaltung, Wien

If you say A, you have to say B too…

It began on September 7, 2025, with “A” (Adio Ahoi, Ahnung, Air, Am Sund, Annaberg Must Become Chicago Again, Ananas Song) and already hinted a bit at “B” (Condolences for Mizzi)—now the CC JOP Fall Season 26 continues in earnest, once again wandering through decades of Czech composition since the 1980s.

Under the banner of “B,” the audience can look forward to, among other things, Bausatz #1, Bestens bedient, Blaazmusik, Black Risotto, Bawdy Lyrics, Bluessuite, Bomp, Brideside, Bugs, and Boritz—and much more. Changes and deviations from the set list are highly likely and stem from the bandleader and composer’s nonconformist obsessive-compulsive disorder.

That’s it—no confession before the sin. Come out in droves; you’ll be well served.

Robert Schröck, Ilse Riedler, Manfred Balasch, Florian Fennes—woodwinds; Holger Bleck—bass clarinet; Markus Pechmann, Walter Fend—trumpet, flugelhorn; Karel Eriksson—trombone; Simon Teurezbacher—tuba; Valentina Cinquini—concert harp, Andi Erd—guitar,

Christoph Cech and his orchestra navigate colorful musical landscapes without stylistic boundaries. Gripping dramatic moments, solo interludes, and sweeping arcs of tension give way to calm, intense, and experimental passages.

The orchestra effortlessly combines complex compositions with great enthusiasm, shaping this diversity into a clear, vibrant musical narrative. A concert evening that balances structure, freedom, and surprising energy.
