On 16th December we welcome back for their final gig of 2024, and it’s set to be a whopper! Following the roaring success of Septembers Inaugural NQ JAZZ orchestra performance, next Monday will see the orchestra return. Expect familiar faces, and some new ones, they’re pulling in musicians from the Manchester, Liverpool, Yorkshire, Birmingham & London scenes.

The concert will feature an array of thrilling lesser heard compositions by some of the greatest jazz composers from the UK & beyond, as well as some of the band members’ own hot-off-the-press numbers.

A portion of tickets sales will go directly towards supporting future programmes. Without the support and generosity of the general public, many incredible organisations like NQ JAZZ simply cannot afford to run, so come out and support for one last time this year!
