Big Band Boom!
Celebrating Rodger Fox
In 2024, we lost jazz icon Rodger Fox, a respected educator, musical director, and big band leader. This festival’s special concert honours him with performances by two big bands.
The event will showcase 50 years of the Rodger Fox Big Band’s music, featuring talented musicians and soloists who worked with him. Expect surprises in true Rodger style, but also the classic Big Band sound he was famous for.
Join us to celebrate Rodger Fox’s life and legacy through the live music of his Band.
