Liisi Oja Big Band 2025

The Liisi Oja Big Band concert

Under the Unkown Clouds 03/04/2025 at 20.00 at Studenterhuset in Aalborg

Liisi Oja is a young, estonian, female composer currently living and working in Aalborg. She has decided to make her dream come true and form together her own big band to play and record her original music. The title of the project ,,Under the unknown clouds” carries around the thought that people might live in the same cities, countries or regions, yet the clouds above us will always be different. Each person has their own personal package/problems and we might never know what comes next (either rainy or snowy clouds/war or peace). The music introduces the idea of various social and political problems in the world and how fast they can change and how to accept these situations. 

The big band consist of seventeen talented musicians, but the music is not traditional big band music. It is extraordinary, because of its innovative sound and storytelling aspect.
