Jazz Students from Chetham’s School of Music
mjf @ First Street (HOME Stage)
mjf’s opening evening, across each of the First Street stages, gives a platform to the next generation of musicians, offering a loud-and-clear statement of intent that the future of jazz talent in and around Manchester is sounding bright.
Gathering on the HOME stage, a selection of students from Chetham’s School of Music – the UK’s largest specialist music school – will perform a mixed repertoire showcasing their instrumental and ensemble mastery. Affectionally known as Chet’s Bakers, they play under the direction Steve Berry, the lead jazz and improvisation tutor at Chetham’s.
With a wide range of ages and breathtaking abilities, these young performers are testament to Chetham’s investment in cultivating the stars of the future through their jazz studies at the school – whose alumni include Gwilym Simcock and Emma Rawicz.
