With the Canterbury Festiva<\/a>l<\/strong> in full swing, the music department has a foothold in events both this week and next.<\/p>\n

KD Jazz Orchestra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This Friday, our very own conductor of the University Concert and Big Bands, the light-fingered Ian Swatman, is appearing at the Festival Club, St. Alphege Lane, at 8.30pm<\/a> as part of the exuberant and lively KD Jazz and Dance Orchestra<\/strong><\/a>. Alongside Ian are several of our visiting instrumental teachers: Peter Cook (sax), Steve Wassell (sousaphone) and Chris Hall (drums), whilst Kevin Dickon (trumpet) also guests with the University Big Band.<\/p>\n

Featuring a foot-tapping programme of music including Dixieland jazz and the music of Michael Buble, this’ll have you dancing in the aisles! (If they permit it, he added hastily…).<\/p>\n

Next week, some of the University’s young and talented Music Scholars<\/strong> appear in a lunchtime on Friday 28 October: more on that anon…<\/p>\n
