ARENA project --- Euro jazz happening

5 Salford-based students/researchers are currently engaged in an ERASMUS IP project in Stavanger Norway. The project – entitled ARENA – involves undergraduate and postgraduate students from the University of Stavanger, Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Salford as well as Salford-based PhD student Nick Katuszonek and Rhythm Changes post-doc Dr Christophe de Bezenac. The Arena project brings together musicians over a 10 day period to work on an intensive programme of improvised performance, culminating in a performance at the Maijazz Festival in Stavanger.
