ROGER MUNNS

Roger started piano lessons at the age of 7. In his teens he joined the Leicestershire County Youth Orchestra playing his second instrument, the clarinet, with whom he toured Norway and Denmark. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 1962. Thereafter he taught classical music in various schools where he also became involved in producing concerts and musicals including”West Side Story”and “The Soldiers Tale” by Stravinsky. During this time he “moonlighted” playing with various jazz groups.

In 1979 he was asked to go on tour with Pete York’s “New York” band and jumped at the chance. The group toured extensively throughout Germany for four years. He also recorded, toured and broadcasted with The John Crocker Quartet in the UK, France, Germany, Holland, Norway and played for a month in Switzerland with the Jimmy Tagford Group.

In 1983 Roger joined the staff of Eton College Music School in England to become the first Professor of Jazz Music at Eton College where he taught for the next 20 years. Slowly but surely Jazz Masters of other instruments joined the faculty and often played together very successfully as a group known as The Eton Jazz Masters.

He retired to live in France, in the Herault, 8 years ago but, as musicians never really retire, he is now kept busy as Chef of The Chorale Appassionata and Musical Director of the jazz group Swing Easy, as well as giving Classical recitals and playing in Jazz concerts with other local musicians.

ROGER MUNNS

Roger était Professeur de Musique à l'Université d'Eton en Angleterre où il a enseigné piano classique et de jazz. Il a enregistré aussi et a diffusé considérablement dans le Royaume-Uni, France, Allemagne, Hollande et Norvège. Il a pris la retraite pour habiter en France, dans l’Herault, il y a 7 ans mais, comme les musiciens ne prennent jamais la retraite, il est maintenant occupé comme Chef de Chorale « Appassionata » et aussi comme Chef du Musique de groupe de jazz « Swing Easy », de même qu’il donne des récitals Classiques et joue dans les concerts de Jazz avec les autres musiciens locaux.



Wine tasting by Bourdic

C'est comme musiciens que nous avions fixé notre choix sur le Midi de la France et c'est comme vignerons que nous avons finalement atterri dans ce merveilleux terroir où, le chaud climat méditerranéen aidant, nous produisons des vins typiques du sud d'un arôme incomparablement subtil.

Venez nous voir dans notre domaine, séjournez au milieu de nos vignes et dégustez nos vins!
