Come on babe, why don’t we paint the town? And all that jazz. You don’t have to rouge your knees or roll your stockings down, but you are compelled to start the car for a whoopee spot…
… where the Doncaster Youth Jazz Orchestra will be performing an exciting programme of big band classics, popular TV themes and rock instrumentals. Since their inception they have received numerous Outstanding Performance awards at the National Festival of Music for Youth, the National Jazz Festival in Birmingham and the Great North Big Band Festival.
If you have young ones who are learning to sing, dance or play a musical instrument, consider bringing them along to be inspired. With the swagger of teen spirit on their side, the group have been voted the BBC Radio Big Band of the Year. Impressively, they have performed a record 18 times at the Royal Albert Hall, at Buckingham Palace and the House of Commons to name but a few.
Following their powerful performance at the United Nations in New York, the UK Ambassador said: “If I could put this band in front of the Security Council of the UN, all their resolutions would be unanimous.”
The orchestra will soon be appearing for The Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire Concert Society, a registered charity keen to give young musicians the opportunity to showcase their talents. Nothing makes sound come to life more than seeing real live players. It’s going to be jangling and jiving with jazz hands so book your places now.
Tickets cost £18.00 and children / students attend free with an accompanying adult. The concert is on Friday 19th April at 7.30pm at Outwood Academy Foxhills, Foxhills Road, Scunthorpe DN15 8LJ.
The theatre is spacious but comfortably accommodating. Hot and cold refreshments are available to purchase and there’s the chance to win a distinctive raffle prize. For more details visit www.scunthorpe-concert-society.co.uk.
