Toronto Jazz Orchestra Salutes the Big Bands with special guest artist, Heather Bambrick

Honour the legacy of big band music through a vibrant mix of standards and original compositions. The 18-piece Toronto Jazz Orchestra has been performing music by some of the most important composers in jazz since 1998. Over the past 24 years, their repertoire has evolved to include compositions and arrangements ranging from classic swing tunes to the leading edge of contemporary jazz, with an emphasis on Canadian composers and arrangers.

The performance of Canadian repertoire is a key component of their mandate, and each year the ensemble presents “O Canada”, a performance exclusively featuring original Canadian big band compositions.
