JazzLeeds Autumn Programme 2025

This Autumn Jazzleeds presents forty concerts, with something to suit all tastes. The season starts at the Chapel Allerton Arts Festival in August and runs through to the new year. On Thursdays we have the best acts from the international and UK jazz scene in the acoustically-excellent concert room at Seven Arts. On Sundays there are fun bands from the local and regional area – a perfect way to spend your Sunday afternoons. On Wednesdays we present the relaxed early evening gigs in the bar at Seven Arts - Rush Hour Jazz has guest musicians and singers supported by the house trio.

Lunchtime Recital: Saxofonie

Saxofonie is a sax quartet based near York, formed in 2017.

Their mission: to showcase the versatility of the saxophone through diverse, engaging and compelling repertoire. If you think the saxophone is just for jazz, think again: we play classical, pop, folk, rag-time, big-band and much more!

Saxofonie is made up of:

Tristan Watson - Soprano saxophone

Hannah Garnett - Alto saxophone

Freya White - Tenor saxophone

Patricia Critchley - Baritone saxophone
