Thursday 30 August – Roger Sellars Emerging Artist Series
WJC are delighted and proud to present our first emerging artist series in honour of the recent passing of jazz drummer and educator Roger Sellers. This will be an annual event and we hope to provide a platform to showcase two chosen emerging artists with outstanding talent in both performance and composition.
For this our inaugural concert we will be featuring bassist Phoebe Johnson and trombonist Martin Greshoff.
