The Phoenix Foundation Big Band from
Germany is funded by their arts council to perform in Goa
through an invitation from Jazz Goa, an organization that
offers a platform to local as well as visiting artistes from
all over the world. After over three decades Goa will
resound to the sound of a big band in all it's glory. The
best thing about this band is the average age of the twenty
two piece ensemble is twenty years and their repertoire
includes a few familiar pop tracks and movie sound tracks
along with intense big band arrangements of jazz standards.
Jazz Goa was approached by Mother Teresa's Roses, an
organization that runs a home for street children in Parra
among other charitable works, to host a show in Goa to create
awareness about the work being done by them. Jazz Goa gladly
decided to have the big band perform for a noble cause and
clubbed the two together to present 'Nuns 'N' Roses' a
musical extravaganza featuring the Phoenix Foundation Big
Band at the Jardim Garcia de Orta in Panjim on the 10th of
March at 6pm. Entry is free and some seating arrangement
will be made especially for senior citizens.
Sunday, 10 March 2013 18:00 until 21:00
Colboração de Fred Noronha.
