Dartington call out for local musicians to Party in the Town
Are you a musician? Whether you perform folk, jazz, rock, classical, world, opera, choral music, dance or something completely different, Dartington invites you to join Party in the Town, brought to you by its Summer School & Festival, on Friday 27 May.
Kicking off the May Bank Holiday weekend in style, Totnes will be buzzing with a packed programme of free musical events in venues and spaces across the town, made possible with the generous support of the Arts Council England. You’ll be entertained with hot samba and cool jazz – together with local artists, choirs and young people – dancing, singing and performing in celebration of the wonder of Totnes’ rich cultural life.
Local children from Kingskerswell, Park, Shaldon and Torre Primary Schools will open the evening in St Mary’s Church with a brand new piece created by them with the celebrated Brazilian percussionist and composer, Adriano Adewale, a regular performer and teacher at Dartington Summer School. And none other than jazz hero Courtney Pine and his band perform his House of Legends show will headline the evening at Totnes Civic Hall. Expect an exhilarating, dance-fuelled mix of Ska, Mento and Calypso played through the lens (saxophone) of a UK-born artist with strong, proud Afro-Caribbean roots.
If you would like to be a part of this exciting event and help to celebrate Totnes’ vibrant cultural scene, Dartington would love to hear from you. If you have a group, band, performance, collaboration or something completely different that you think could be in Party in the Town, or if you have a local business, venue or space in Totnes and would like to host performances please get in touch.
