As part of the National Big Band Days 6-8 Oct, Reunion Big Band travels to Turku and performs at the Big Band Review. On 7th of October, we will be on stage and shall give our best!

At the Big Band Review, the member orchestras of the Finnish Big Band Association present their repertoire! The sets, which are about 30 minutes long, form an interesting and stimulating whole for all lovers of bigger ensembles.

​Reunion Big Band was founded in 2003 by a group of old stablemates. This year, we celebrate our 20 years of action!
