We are very excited to announce our partnership with the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra. In just a few short weeks we are going to be opening for this prestigious ensemble on Mother's Day - Sunday May 12 at the Winnipeg Art Gallery @ 2:00 p.m.
This year's theme is the King of Swing with clarinetist Ken Peplowski
Benny Goodman was definitely the King of Swing, but clarinetist Ken Peplowski is standing tall in the shadow of his royal legacy. In fact the late Mel Torme said, “Since the advent of Benny Goodman there have been too few clarinettists to fill the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is most certainly one of those few”. He not only mirrors Benny’s tone and virtuosity, but for well over 30 years this charismatic entertainer has been delighting audiences with his warmth, wit, and musicianship.
Our Sr. Jazz has been invited to open for this historic concert event. So treat your mom to some swingin' jazz and come down to the Art Gallery for a wonderful afternoon of entertainment.
