The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama Big Band comprises of students currently studying at the College and is populated by current students from the under- graduate and post-graduate courses on both Jazz and Classical Music courses.

For this Concert the Band will be presenting a tribute to the late Quincy Jones, a fellow of the College. The Band and Vocalists will present a programme celebrating his work with Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and the Count Basie Orchestra.

RWCMD Big Band rehearses weekly under the current Musical Director Ceri Rees and enjoys a varied and successful concert program throughout the academic year both at the College and further afield.

The Band has recently been featured in a series of concerts at the RWCMD for both its annual jazz festival and recently a tribute concert to the music of the American Big Bands and Sinatra and Basie at the Sands.

RWCMD Big Band has also appeared at the Swansea International Jazz festival to much critical acclaim and regularly performs for the South Wales Big Band Society.
