EMO's next exciting concert at the Brisbane Powerhouse as part of Jazz Queensland's Hot Jazz Cool Nights festival is coming up on Thursday 14 June at 7pm. Get tickets at www.brisbanepowerhouse.org
HOT JAZZ COOL NIGHTS - ENTHUSIASTIC MUSICIANS ORCHESTRA
The Enthusiastic Musician’s Orchestra features 17 Brisbane jazz musicians playing the original music of the current crop of exciting local jazz composers. The Enthusiastic Musicians Orchestra creates a dynamic vehicle for Brisbane musicians, composers, and arrangers to create new work. With all the bluster and bombast of a classic big band as well as the subtlety and refinement of a modern jazz orchestra EMO draws on an existing library of one hundred and fifty charts forging the band’s status as an artistic big band ensemble driven to swing, and swing hard! EMO is sure to captivate all listeners.
Duration: 1hr 40mins with an interval
Full $27
Concession $23
