WANGARATTA ENSEMBLE
Mon 19 Oct 2009 @ 8:00pm
Admission Members $15 Student members $8 Non-members $20
Each year SELECTED students from the WAAPA Jazz program are invited to perform at the Wangaratta Jazz Festival. We are very fortunate in having them play for us before they go. As always the skill level is extraordinary, their musicality is impressive and the entertainment value is sky high.
WAAPA Supergroup
WAAPA has been a hive of activity over the last 2 years, with an incredible array of visiting artists including George Garzone, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, Paul Grabowsky, Katie Noonan, Scott Tinkler and Julien Wilson to name just a few. These artists have helped to raise the bar and the students are meeting the challenge, giving us exemplary performances all year round.
THE 3rd year jazz students at WAAPA auditioned to form a group to travel to Wangaratta Festival and represent WAAPA at Australia’s longest running jazz festival. The members of the ensemble all contribute material to the repertoire and rehearse intently for this prestigious performance. This year the group is made up Sean Little (Tenor Saxophone), Marty Duck (Trumpet), James Ireland (piano), Karl Florisson (bass), Sean Phillips (drums) and Amelia Ong (Vocals). Don’t miss this fund raising performance leading up to one of the biggest gig of their careers so far!
