On March 15, 2026, the international jazz big band Cotatcha Orchestra, led by Czech trumpeter and composer Jiří Kotača, performed live at Studio 1 of Radio Plovdiv. The concert was captured with a multi-camera production and streamed live online by organizers Troley Path Station / Station Street.

The setlist featured compositions from their debut album "Big Band Electronics" — released on the American label PARMA Recordings, nominated for the Anděl Award, and named the Best Jazz Recording of 2020 by Czech Radio Jazz — alongside new works destined for an upcoming studio recording.

Cotatcha Orchestra is an international big band with musicians from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bulgaria, built around a vision of original music for large jazz ensemble — where the classic big band tradition meets electronic textures, modern composition, and cinematic depth.
