Johan Hartman

Ailsa Aitkenhead

Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Classic big band jazz and swing from across the ages, played by a very big band indeed – back for our regular slot at the Fringe. Join us for charts you'll love from Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Melba Liston and Duke Ellington, all the way to the present day, plus some more left-field choices. Dancing in the aisles is strongly encouraged, or sit back and be blown away by this wonderful, timeless music.

South London Jazz Orchestra

Edinburgh New Town Church

Rising American opera star and composer Johan Hartman is joined by Edinburgh’s Ailsa Aitkenhead in two varied programs. Featured works include Mr Hartman’s song cycles on poems by WB Yeats and Robert Browning, as well as lieder and songs by Franz Schubert and Gerald Finzi.
