It's been such a fantastic weekend of music-making here at Gloucestershire Music!

First up, we had an excellent Gloucestershire Jazz Live performance on Saturday at the very sunny UJF.

Our Gloucestershire Music Jazz groups played at the Upton Baptist Church to a rousing and extremely enthusiastic audience (our Jazz congregation so to speak) - thank you to all who came along. Jazz2Go, Jazz2Go combo, our brief Jazz jam, GYJC (Glos. Youth Jazz Combo), Gloucestershire Youth Jazz Academy and Gloucestershire Youth Jazz Orchestra Youth Jazz Orchestra all delivered lively and cheerful sets, featuring many improvising soloists and very strong and dynamic ensemble playing.

The festival has become a nice annual opportunity for our groups to perform their repertoire in a welcoming festival with a friendly and supportive audience.

Bravo 👏 🎵 🎤🎻🎺🎷🎹🎸 🎶

A terrific Gloucestershire Youth String Orchestra summer concert was presented to a full house at Tetbury Goods Shed on Sunday.

The students delivered tremendous performances featuring soloists, composers and guest conductors from the ensemble membership. A great collaboration with The Music Works saw two contemporary artists perform their tracks with GYSO to create a cross genre spectacle.

Bravo 👏🎻
