Party in the Town is an exciting initiative from Dartington Summer School & Festival. It is part of the new year-round Arts programme at Dartington, and we hope it will become an annual event.
Party in the Town celebrates the panoramic local music scene and vibrant cultural life that the community of Totnes and its surrounding areas has to offer.
The evening will kick off at 6pm in St Mary’s on the High Street with a performance from local school children of a brand new piece created by them with the popular and celebrated Brazilian percussionist and composer, Adriano Adewale.
Adriano was an inspirational teacher and performer at the 2015 Summer School and he has a long track record of educational work and performance with some of the world’s best musicians.
This opening piece will be followed by free music and entertainment in venues and spaces throughout Totnes, from 6.30-9.50pm. It will be completely accessible, and will include music of all genres.
The Party ends with a world-class headline act, 10pm at the Civic Hall, from iconic British jazz musician Courtney Pine and his band with their HOUSE OF LEGENDS show. Expect an exhilarating mix of Merengue, Big Band, Ska, Mento, Calypso and dancing!
