Southampton music students have been in the limelight with outstanding contributions to gigs by major jazz artists at Turner Sims.
Student band Ghostnote was chosen by Serious – among the UK’s leading live music promoters – as the support act for renowned saxophonist David Murray and his quartet, for the Southampton leg of their UK tour on 17 October.
And on 25 October, student singers performed with Denys Baptiste in his multimedia extravaganza ‘Let Freedom Ring’ and its brand-new prequel, ‘Now is the Time’.
‘Being part of a professional concert and meeting amazing musicians was a fantastic opportunity, and I would definitely encourage anyone to participate in this kind of event as it was such a good experience. The music was great and the multimedia aspect of the performance was really interesting. I thought it was a really unique project and I’m really glad I was involved. Louisa Healey, BA Music
‘These opportunities are really important to me because it means I get to practise my performance, and also watch other professional performers, both of which will help me with my degree. I also met some lovely people from the other years. It’s not something that every university offers Alice Moseley, BA French and Music
