In what is fast becoming a popular JazzFest tradition on the closing Sunday of the Festival, the Edmonton Jazz Orchestra (EJO) returns to Edmonton’s world-renowned concert hall in partnership with members of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (ESO) for a swingin’ afternoon of familiar jazz standards with an appearance by three-time JUNO Award-winning Canadian jazz vocalist Caity Gyorgy.

This matinee concert will see 30+ musicians sharing the stage, combining the energy of a jazz big band and the rich sound of live strings and woodwinds, for an experience to be enjoyed by all ages. With conductors Kent Sangster and Mark Limacher, concert-goers can expect incredible arrangements of popular tunes and a few songs from Caity’s new orchestral album.
