For this Remembrance Day, the Shenkman Arts Centre hosts an intimate, afternoon performance featuring the sounds of the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s, expertly performed by a 16-piece big band.
Formed three decades ago at the Good Companions Centre, the Grey Jazz Big Band offer an entertaining program of music ranging from the big band era to popular modern hits.
Over the years, the band has performed at high-profile events including a Royal visit, the opening of the Canadian War Museum and the Ottawa Jazz Festival, delighting audiences both young and young-at-heart.
This show will be followed by coffee and treats.
If cost is a barrier for you, please contact the Box Office at 613-580-2700. There are a limited number of free tickets available.
