It’s probably the biggest jazz concert you’ll ever see in Queenstown.
To mark its 10th anniversary, the Queenstown Jazz Orchestra’s putting on a celebration concert in the Queenstown Memorial Centre on August 7.
Along with its usual 16-piece ‘big band’ line-up, it’s inviting back past players and vocalists from as far afield as Waiheke Island and Stewart Island.
Orchestra secretary and sax player Sarah Lyttle an ex-New Zealand Youth Jazz Band member says after the full house they got in February for a concert with NZ’s foremost big band leader Rodger Fox, ‘‘the feeling from the community was exceptional’’.
