Ever wondered what it would feel like to be part of a roaring jazz big band — using nothing but your voice?In this fun, energetic workshop, we’ll transform the choir into trumpets, trombones, saxophones and rhythm section, exploring the riffs, rhythms and punchy harmonies that give big-band music its unmistakable sound.
We’ll learn how to swing, lock into a groove and build an arrangement together from the ground up.
No jazz experience or sight-reading required — just bring your voice and get ready to swing, shout, riff and become part of the band!
