Down for the Count Orchestra are coming to The Great Hall
Some of the UK’s premier swing musicians are coming to Exeter this Christmas.
The acclaimed 30-piece Down for the Count Orchestra, under the baton of conductor Mike Paul-Smith, continue to make waves on the UK jazz scene and are set to bring the magic of the festive season to life with their enchanting performances.
Down for the Count boast a rare combination of a swing band with a string section, and their Christmas extravaganza promises to transport audiences to a world of timeless classics.
In addition to beloved Christmas favourites, this year’s tour features brand-new arrangements by conductor Mike Paul-Smith, offering audiences a fresh take on festive classics.
Audiences can expect to hear recreations of The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Andy Williams), Let It Snow! (Frank Sinatra), and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Ella Fitzgerald), alongside non-festive classics from these great artists and original arrangements of swing era classics, showcasing the sensational instrumentalists and vocalists in the orchestra.
They are playing The Great Hall on Sunday 24th November. Doors: 17:00. Tickets: £22.00-£39.00. Box Office: 01392 726363.
