Following the success of our two Galas with Jacqui Dankworth, we return to the jazz scene and this year invite Claire Martin to join us.  This doyenne of British Jazz with be joined by Andy Williamson and the Big Buzzard Boogie Band.

The featured work is I Got Gershwin, Ned Bennett's Jazz Extravaganza, featuring ten of George and Ira Gershwin's best-known works including Summertime, I Got Rhythm and the blues from An American In Paris.

Add in solo sports from Claire, the band and the Exeter Big Noise Choruses and of course the Exeter Festival Chorus and you have an upbeat, foot tapping evening to start the festive season.  The event is conducted by Nigel Perrin.

Our charity partner for the concert is Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education, and there will be a retiring collection on their behalf.

Running time approximately 2hours 30 minutes with a 20 minute interval.
