Guelph, Ontario

This year's Guelph Jazz Festival features a main stage program showcasing Canadian and international artists, a free downtown jazz tent on the Saturday of the Festival weekend, and numerous other concerts at a variety of community venues, including churches, an art gallery and the youth music centre.

Opening the Festival is a jazz colloquium that looks at the music's influence on society and culture. Another educational component is the mainly off-season Jazz in the Schools program, which exposes elementary, high school, and university students to teaching from highly improvisational jazz artists.

Finally, the Festival has commissioned three original works, including the jazz opera Québécité. This year (our 16th) we will mount three large-scale "Outstallations" - a special series of outdoor events designed to reach new audiences and present unconventional music in Guelph's public space.
