October 30 Benefit Concert a success!
Many thanks to all who attended our special “Such Good Friends” Benefit Concert at the Flato Markham Theatre Oct. 30, 2024. Legend Jackie Richardson performed with the super-talented Toronto All-Star Big Band to help us recover from record-setting storms that hampered our 2024 Festival in August. Beforehand, fans enjoyed jazz duo Melissa Lauren and Ewen Farncombe, a fundraising auction, a photo booth and each other’s great company!
Eventful 2024 Markham Jazz Festival!
A big thank-you to all those jazz fans who made their way to Unionville for the 27th annual Markham Jazz Festival Aug. 16, 17 and 18. Although record-breaking rainfall and a “train” of electrical storms on Saturday, Aug. 17, made it unsafe to present some of our performances, better weather on Sunday lifted everyone’s spirits. Thanks also to our musicians, vendors and volunteers for their patience and good cheer. • Stay tuned for news of upcoming MJF activities here and through our e-newsletter.
