Icelandic guest artist Sigurdís Sandra Tryggvadóttir joins the Women of the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra for its third annual Women’s Day Concert in celebration of International Women’s Day. Four new works written or arranged by women in Manitoba will be premièred at the concert, which will be led by WJO’s associate director Alexis Silver.
The concert will cap off a daylong symposium that includes a keynote by Juno-nominated bassist, composer, producer and educator Jodi Proznick, as well as a jazz instrumental and vocal creativity session and a women-in-jazz history session.
Doors for the evening concert open at 6:30 p.m. Get there early: trumpeter, vocalist and high school music teacher Alyssa Alambra will be leading a Young Women’s Jazz Ensemble in a pre-concert performance at 7:10 p.m.
