Jazz NebulaWelcome to our Matinee Jazz Performances Interest Group! |
Are you interested in listening to live jazz music on Saturday afternoon? Perhaps you have an interest in jazz music, but never had a mentor to help you understand the genre? If you answered, ‘Yes’ to either of these questions, this may be a CALL group for you. Jazz Nebula is pleased to welcome all CALL members to their high energy concerts. Before and during the concert, Musical Director John Reid will briefly explain the significance of the featured musicians/composers and their contributions to the world of jazz. John Reid is a member of the Music Department at the University of Calgary offering courses on the history of Jazz, Blues and Funk. Following the concert, John Reid will lead a discussion and a Q&A. These concerts truly combine a love of music with our lifelong passion for learning! If members are interested in a more in-depth lecture on jazz music, John Reid has also offered to provide a lecture in the New Year. CALL members are able to buy individual concert tickets ($35.00) or a discounted six performance subscription ($175.00). General admission is $40 per ticket; however, Jazz Nebula is providing CALL members with a $5.00/ticket discount. You do not need to register for this Jazz interest group, as ticket purchase is up to the individual. You simply have to show up for the fun.
