The Chronometer’s Orchestra, onder leiding van componist Zacharias S. Falkenberg, combineert de essentie van modern klassieke muziek met experimentele jazz Het is een orkest op hoog niveau dat de luisteraar verrast met complexe ritmiek en avantgardistische harmoniek. Falkenberg laat zich graag beïnvloeden door musici als Frank Zappa, Miles Davis, Igor Stravinsky, Karlheinz Stockhausen en György Ligeti. Zijn muziek representeert een gevoel van rebellie en anti-establishment. In augustus 2016 won Falkenberg de Rogier van Otterloo Award voor zijn composities. Falkenberg schreef speciaal voor Festival Jazz International Rotterdam.

Its leader is an adventurous composer, always pushing the limits in his composing, with great scoring for strings, horns and rhythm and sophisticatedly using instruments as well as the band members.” – Michiel Braam
“Dit orkest is bijzonder door zijn concept, boeiend door zijn combinatie van vele stijlen die naadloos in elkaar overgaan(…)“ – Jazzflits
