The ETH/UZH Big Band returns to the UK for a special open-air performance as part of the bicentenary celebrations of University College London. The invitation builds on connections established during the band’s previous UK tour and reflects a century-long connection between UCL and Switzerland: in 1926, six UCL students travelled to Switzerland for an academic exchange, making the front page of UCL’s first student newspaper. One hundred years later, the ETH/UZH Big Band travels from Zurich to London to perform on the closing evening of the UCL200 Summer Festival, where it will be joined by UCL student singers. The programme features a dance-oriented big band repertoire, from swinging rhythms and Latin grooves to funk, alongside a selection of singalong classics. We look forward to sharing this evening with the UCL community in the historic Main Quad and are honoured to be part of the UCL bicentenary celebrations.
