Ribble Valley Jazz and Blues are delighted to welcome Ancient Infinity Orchestra to the Grand for a day of singing and music workshops culminating in a shared evening of music making.

A precious opportunity to meet and make music with the ensemble during the day and perhaps join them on stage in the evening for their concert. Very limited spaces.

Access to the workshops is included in the evening concert price – make sure you have booked your concert ticket in addition to booking the workshop.

There will be two sessions suitable for all people, all ages and abilities. One will be a rhythm workshop and the other a singing workshop for us all to create music together.

There will be two sessions aimed at amateur and intermediate level musicians. Chat with the musicians, have a little jam, find out what it is like to be in a jazz ensemble.

Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
