Dave Holland with Birmingham Conservatoire students

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Possibly the midlands most well known jazz export with a C.V. reading like a who’s who of jazz, Dave has become a regular visitor to the Conservatoire’s jazz course for the last few years. Events include the Dave Holland ensemble prize, masterclasses and for Harmonic, a special concert presented by the man himself. Students of the Conservatoire will be working with Dave on his own compositions and playing them for the first concert of Harmonic. There may just happen to be a spare bass lying around too… :-)

Line-up:
