Chetham’s Big Bands and Jazz ensembles have performed with artists including Gwilym Simcock, Mike Lovatt and Iain Ballamy, showcasing their finest ensemble and solo skills through standards and contemporary compositions, including material from our very own Alexander Bone, following his visit to the school for workshops the day before.
With every Chetham’s student invited to participate in jazz improvisation classes and ensemble rehearsals from their first weeks in the school, it’s little wonder that numerous alumni have progressed to leading jazz courses and award-winning international careers across the UK.
