A unique collaboration between the concert pianist Graham Caskie and the artist Brian Dunce based upon Debussy Preludes, Book One . A performance of Debussy's haunting work, with the performance space redefined by the exhibition of commissioned art works. Brian's large canvases are a direct response to Graham's interpretation of these pieces for solo piano, and the concept has been developed through working closely together over a period of several months. The pianist is in a central location but surrounded by the canvases, which define a combined performance and promenade space around which the audience moves during the performance. The performance repositions our ideas about the conventions of the gallery and the concert hall. There will be an audio visual introduction to this unusual collaboration before the performance and an opportunity to ask questions afterwards. A once-only chance to be part of this imaginative approach to looking at art and listening to music.

The current University of Surrey Big Band was founded in 1997 by students in the Department of Music and Sound Recording. Now in its ninth year, the band has gone from strength to strength, and has transformed in the last two years into an exciting and dynamic unit. Success has come quickly: competing in national music festivals, the band has achieved the astonishing hat-trick of three Gold Awards at the National Finals of the BASBWE festival with full marks in all categories and a special award for achieving what no other band has managed before! Big Band returns to the Festival, with a lively and fun-filled programme of Big Band standards through Latin jazz to modern funk.
