Step into a new era of swing and swagger as the Renaissance Big Band – formerly The Tony Farrell Big Band – takes flight with its inaugural concert, under the masterful direction from one of the UK’s leading Jazz artists, Hugh Pascall. We’re honouring decades of big-band tradition while weaving in fresh, modern twists, and we couldn’t have done it without the brilliant musicians, arrangers, and community champions who’ve lent us their talent and inspiration throughout the decades of performances by the band.
Join us for an unforgettable journey of chart-topping classics, reinterpreted editions and brand-new arrangements that bridge the golden age of jazz with today’s vibrant sounds.
