Profitez de la soirée jazz en compagnie de la chanteuse Flore Luna et de prestigieux musiciennes Jazz du Manitoba. Flora Luna sait évoquer, à travers sa musique, l’exaltation que l’on ressent juste avant un grand orage dans un pré manitobain : la charge électrique dans l’air, la tension contemplative et l’humeur changeante. Elle chante sans effort et avec ferveur ses mélodies de musiques pop-jazz en français et en anglais. Avec sa voix exquise, elle offre un regard acéré sur notre époque. | PURCHASE TICKETS! |

Come see vocalist Sala and some of Manitoba's best jazz musicians. Sala, also known as Ariane Jean, is poised, gentle. A pristine surface covering the ripples of an intuitive, emotional nature.

Her intimate, sometimes melancholy jazz, ambient and pop-infused songs are snapshots of specific moments in time with layers of lush vocals on which her airy soprano can soar. Her second record, Surface, was just released in April 2023.

In the early 1960's an extended stay in Paris was particularly fruitful for Duke Ellington and his musicians. The iconic bandleader would score and star in a movie, write and record an album and perform a memorable concert at the L'Olympia. That concert was recorded and released nearly a decade later - titled The Great Paris Concert - and is truly one of the great live band performances of all time. Join the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra as we celebrate that magical evening with performances of Kinda Dukish, Rockin' in Rhythm and other classics from the set-list of Ellington's Great Paris Concert. | PURCHASE TICKETS! |
