Iain Farrington and St Martin’s Chamber Orchestra present a sparkling jazz-inspired programme. In vibrant arrangements for chamber ensemble and piano, these works by pioneering classical composers of the jazz age take us on a journey across the vast plains of the American landscape and into the irresistible urban wilderness of 1930s dance halls.
