The "Bremen Immigrant Orchestra" (Bremen Immigranten Orchester ) bases its name on the world-famous fairytale by the Brothers Grimm, but has the edge on its fictional counterparts in one significant respect: its musicians actually arrived in Bremen. Willy Schwarz, the brains behind the ensemble and also its musical director, has had some experience in Chicago with similar projects: the All - American Immigrant Orchestra and the Chicago Immigrant Orchestra.
