BIG Jazz Day

Devon Music Education Hub are delighted to present this year’s BIG Jazz Day for young musicians on Saturday 15 March at King Edward VI Community College, Totnes with special guests the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama Big Band!

Join us from 3.45-5.45pm for a Jazz and Big Band workshop with Ceri Rees (saxophone & RWCMD Big Band director) Dr Andrew Bain (percussion & Head of Jazz at RWCMD) and the Big Band from the world-renowned Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama supported by South Devon Youth Jazz, Lipson Cooperative Big Band and the Devon Youth Jazz Orchestras – it’s open to any students Grade 2+ (approximate level only, no exam needed) who are interested in playing jazz on any instrument.

This will be followed by a celebration jazz concert from 7-9:30pm, with the massed bands and masterclass participants opening the concert, which parents/carers/supporters are very welcome to attend. Concert Tickets (7pm-9pm) can be purchased here.

Due to demand, places are strictly limited and allocated on a first come first served basis. Members of DYJO or Co-operative Big Band have already had their places secured, so there is no need to sign up again here.

Please note: There is no charge for young musicians participating in the workshop and/or performance. Admittance to the evening concert at 7pm for parents/carers/supporters will cost £6/£4 concessions.

Devon Music Education Hub would like acknowledge the generous support of King Edward VI Community College for hosting this event.
