Ampleforth College Big Band
Performance in aid of St Catherine's Hospice and Ryedale Folk Museum
Ampleforth College Big Band was founded by their leader, William Dore in 2003 to balance the strong choral and orchestral traditions present in the College music-making. The group consists of around twenty students and two adults, playing a range of music from 1930s swing, soul, and arrangements of jazz-funk and rock numbers. The band has been in constant demand and this is the third time the Big Band have performed at the Arts Centre. It is a great pleasure to be helping to raise money for these two valuable causes.
