Top outdoor sounds return to the city for summer
One of the highlights of the summer, Jazz and Brass in the Parks is poised to return to Cambridge’s green spaces with a series of free, outdoor concerts. Running selected Sundays from June to September, the events offer a chance to enjoy some of the city’s most beautiful leafy spots and some great live music, with guests encouraged to bring along a picnic and relax. From smooth jazz to lively brass ensembles and Disney classics, there’s plenty to enjoy at the performances, which all run 3-5pm.
On 10 June, catch the Royston Town Band at Cherry Hinton Hall, then seek out the Cambridge Youth Jazz Band and Cambridgeshire Youth Jazz Orchestra on Jesus Green on 1 July. August sees CSD Brass perform at Cherry Hinton Hall on the 12th, and then the ACE Jazz Trio on Jesus Green on the 19th. Come September, it’s the turn of Littleport Brass at Nightingale Recreation Ground on the 2nd, with the series rounded off on the 9th with the fabulously entertaining Alleycats, a vocal-led modern jazz band who play arrangements of Disney classics old and new.
