The Antony Barnard Theatre was transformed into a buzzing jazz club for our annual Jazz Night, one of the most anticipated events in the musical calendar. Over the course of three hours, nine Eltham jazz ensembles took to the stage, performing to a completely sold-out audience.
Guests were seated at cabaret-style tables, evoking the atmosphere of classic jazz clubs, while others filled the tiers behind. Reflecting on the evening, Mr Johns remarked: “It was a brilliant celebration of jazz music and shows the strength of this tradition here at Eltham; it was especially encouraging to see a number of our younger jazz musicians take to the stage, setting the standard high for the groups that followed.”
Big Band closed the night with an impressive 40-minute set. Thank you to everyone who attended and performed, and a special thank you to the Drama Department for hosting such an enjoyable and memorable evening.
