Events Description
Experience an award-winning musical journey like no other as Jasmine Jazz returns to the enchanting Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden for an unforgettable afternoon of genre-defying brilliance.
Winners of the prestigious West Coast Music Award, this extraordinary ensemble reimagines jazz through the soulful voices of traditional Chinese instruments, creating a mesmerizing dialogue between cultures.
Immerse yourself in the dynamic interplay of erhu’s haunting melodies, guzheng’s cascading strings, and suona’s vibrant calls, woven seamlessly with the rich textures of jazz bass, guitar, and clarinet.
According to Jodi Proznick, “The evening will be all about musical conversations, an east meets west experience, full of beauty, harmony, mutual respect and interplay. The repertoire will be a beautiful mix of songs pulled from jazz repertoire, traditional Chinese folk music, and original compositions.”
The concert will feature the Vancouver premiere of Breath of Joy, a unique new composition by Bill Coon, alongside fresh, innovative arrangements that bridge centuries of musical tradition with contemporary improvisation by Huang, Tan and Wu.
This is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of cross-cultural artistry, where fiery jazz improvisation dances with the elegance of Chinese classical music. Each piece tells a story, blending the spontaneity of jazz with the timeless beauty of ancient melodies. Set against the tranquil serenity of the garden, this performance promises an afternoon of transcendent music where every note resonates with harmony, respect, and shared joy.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness a musical alchemy that could only come from Vancouver’s vibrant creative spirit. Jasmine Jazz is where worlds collide, and magic happens.
