Sunday Swing - Funkestra
Event description
Sunday 12 June
Funkestra is the newest Big Band to hit Ōtautahi and boy are we excited! An incredible line up of musicians will bring you all the funk and swing you can handle at afternoon tea time on Sunday afternoon.
This band brings together the best of Christchurch’s great session musicians, jazz musicians and orchestral musicians in one incredible band. Where else could horn players from Midnight Oil meet those from Salmonella Dub, Netherworld Dancing Toys, the CSO and Ambush Brass (amongst others).
The music is a feast for the senses and a celebration of all that is exciting in a modern jazz orchestra.
It swings. It’s funky. It’s fun. It’s real good music by real good musicians.
Be there.
Reserved seating will get you a table on the main floor, general admission leaves you free to be up and dancing. Doors open at 2pm. Get your groove on!
