For their first semester concert, the Jazz Choir will be trawling through the Great American Songbook, with tunes from Irving Berlin through to Burt Bacharach. Along the way there'll be some old chestnuts such as Moonglow and Satin Doll, along with 1950's favourite Poinciana a la Ahmad Jamal, and the gorgeous ballad But, Beautiful. Four of the arrangements are written by Musical Director Julie Mason, and the choir will be accompanied by the University of Auckland's Phil Broadhurst Trio.

Entry is free so please arrive early to grab a good seat!
