Let's swing!
************

     Where can you find jazz being played in Hong Kong? Bars? Coffee shops? How does enjoying jazz music beside Victoria Harbour or on the Peak sound?

     Local swing group the Saturday Night Jazz Orchestra has joined the 2012 Community Cultural Ambassador Scheme organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Under the scheme, band members conduct free outreach activities that are both educational and fun at various outdoor venues. Band members not only perform but also teach swing jazz to aspiring young musicians.

     After eight workshops, 16 participants will hold a graduation performance on May 13 with the professional jazz musicians of the Saturday Night Jazz Orchestra.

     Workshop mentors and participants describe their penchant for playing jazz in a feature story and video published on the news.gov.hk website today (April 22).
