The United Women's Orchestra was founded in 1992 by the com- posers Hazel Leach and Christina Fuchs. It consists of 17 musicians from Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands and the USA. Their repertoire consists exclusively of original material and their style can be described as somewhere between jazz, folk and new music. "The soloists are treading down wonderful paths. I would like to be able to say I had written these compositions myself." (Michael Naura, Die Zeit)
