An hour of musical entertainment for children and families to usher in the Christmas season, with more than a little help from the percussion section! ‘Rhythm is our Business’ explores the power of rhythm and the fusion of jazz and classical styles, with Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Bernstein’s West Side Story and Brubeck’s Take Five leading the way.
