We’re delighted to announce that, after several hours of auditions of a high standard and some serious thinking by the conductor of the Big Band and the Deputy Director of Music, the singer with the University Big Band this year will be Ruby Mutlow.
To those who followed the Big Band or indeed Jazz @ 5 over last year, Ruby will need no introduction: a University Music Scholar, Ruby graced several stages in the Gulbenkian Theatre, appearing in both the February ‘Have A Blast!’ concert as well as the summer Big Band Gala, and at Jazz @ 5 sessions. A terrific performer with a characterful voice and marvellous stage-presence, Ruby will once again be a superb asset to music at Kent.
Thanks to everyone who auditioned, and congratulations to Ruby: First Lady of Jazz at the University this year!
