The Jazz Hang Summer Showcase ft Theon Cross

Join us for a free evening of jazz at The Jazz Hang Summer Showcase! There’s a fantastic line-up of young musicians performing including:

• Jazz Hang Cohort, led by Rosie Turton
• Lewisham Music Jazz Band
• Pulse of the Planet from Prendergast Ladywell School
• Trinity Laban jazz ensemble, featuring Lauren Breen

And featuring special guest, Theon Cross.

Theon Cross is an internationally renowned jazz tuba player, a ‘key figure in London’s vital jazz scene’ (Pitchfork), and a core member of the Mercury-Prize nominated Sons of Kemet. Born and raised in London, he grew up learning the craft with Tomorrow’s Warriors and Kinetika Bloco before studying jazz at conservatoire. He’s coming down to this gig to support and play alongside some of the young musicians involved, included the Trinity Laban ensemble.
