Event Description
CPF Saanich jumped at the chance to work with local artists to offer an innovative way to offer their members, and the community at large, a creative way to hear French. Also, it would provide an opportunity to watch a piece of art be created in the moment, as well as an opportunity to hear some French jazz songs. Noedy HD Jazz Band is led by Cuban tenor saxophonist Noedy Hechavarria Duharte. The group offers innovative jazz and a solid, breathless performance by talented co-musicians.
All musicians reside in the Victoria region and performances will be conducted in local studios, providing much-needed work to people in the arts. The event will feature three musicians, one singer and one artist, invited guest musicians as well as studio recording engineers and website/social media support. The concerts will be video recorded by a team of technicians affiliated to local radio in Victoria.
All virtual concerts will be FREE to anyone interested to watch these performances, accessible at www.CPFLive.ca, on the day of their release.
