A Merry Little Jazz East Christmas

Jazz East Big Band is a 20-piece traditional Jazz Orchestra, led by the incomparable Bill Brennan!

They're back again this year, packing the stage at First Light Centre for Performance and Creativity with an exciting presentation of holiday jazz favourites. This year's concert will feature local treasure Dana Parsons on lead vocals, as well as a special guest performance by youth sensation Rowan Mackenzie.

Jazz East has been performing world class jazz music in St. John’s since 1997, with current members such as Jim Vivian (bass), Natasha Blackwood (saxophone), Terry Campbell (trumpet), and Gary Johnston (piano).

This event is all ages, family friendly, and nice and early! A cool 90 minutes with no intermission, so you can get nan home before her bedtime.

$30 Regular Tickets, $25 for students, seniors and arts workers. Tickets are free for children twelve and under. We also have a limited number of free community tickets available for those with barriers to purchasing a ticket. Please contact lauren@firstlightnl.ca to request one! Merry Christmas!
