omnibus wind ensemble

The Omnibus Wind Ensemble is a swedish classical ensemble.  Besides very classical music, they also perform more 'modern' music.  They have performed various Frank Zappa compositions and even recorded a Zappa album.

June 14, the Omnibus Wind Ensemble / the Omnibus Kammarblåsare, performed a Zappa set called "Wind Zappa" at the Umeå Internationella Kammarmusik Festival. This festival took place from 2003/06/09 to 2003/06/15. A big part of the festival was dedicated to the music of Frank Zappa.
