JAZZ SUPERSTAR CONCERT AUGUST 7


Hot artists and hot grooves are on the menu in August in Nanaimo when the Nanaimo Conservatory of Music serves up its annual Jazzy feast. There must be something in the air in the harbour city that raises great jazz musicians because on Thursday August 7 at 7:30 PM some of the top names in Canadian jazz will grace the newly managed stage at the Harbour City Theatre (formerly Nanaimo Centre Stage).
 


Led by Nanaimo’s own 2014 JUNO award winner Christine Jensen, this concert of great Canadian Jazz artists will feature Jensen and her partner Joel Miller on saxophone, the groove-master, Ken Lister on bass, Pamela York, a native Vancouver Islander who now lives and teaches in Texas, on piano and vocals, along with hot guest artists to round out the event. All of these artists are multi-award winning recording musicians who will be coming to Nanaimo to teach in the Conservatory’s Summer Jazz Intensive program August 5-8. As part of the program the faculty present a concert, lucky for us!

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and are available at the door or by calling the Conservatory at 250 754 4611. Get yours soon. The last two concerts sold out completely!
