Janet Seidel “Australia’s first lady of jazz singing” will be appearing at a jazz evening in a wonderful 12th century Suffolk Church in the village of Orford. 

The church has an incredible acoustic and a fine concert grand piano made by Broadwood and Sons, an English piano manufacturer founded in 1728, St. Bartholomew’s Church has a long history of outstanding musical events including the World Premiere of Benjamin Britten’s Noyes Fludde and is regularly used for choral and orchestral concerts and recordings.

Aldeburgh Music Club Choir and the Prometheus Orchestra join forces on the previous Saturday with the World Premiere performances of two works sharing themes of the sea and the Suffolk coast but this is the first jazz evening and it promises to be an outstanding event.
