BAND ANNOUNCEMENT - BIG BAND DE DORIGNY
The Big Band de Dorigny (BBD) is an orchestra born in the fall of 2018 from the desire of a few members of the Lausanne university community to create a jazz swing band. It is composed of experienced musicians: five saxophones, four trombones, four trumpets and a rhythm section - and its repertoire, which is growing daily, is as festive and danceable as it is sophisticated.
The BBD has, since its birth, decided to honor the tradition of the Big Bands of the Swing Era by offering a repertoire for dancers. It has often collaborated with the Swingtime Lausanne Association, among other things for the organization of monthly dance parties.

The Big Band de Dorigny will play for the opening of the Saturday night party. You sure don't want to miss that 💥💥
Registration will open on September 14th, stay tuned!
