Moonlight Jazz Society (MJS) is a NEW non-profit focused on facilitating connection between primarily composers and arrangers, venues, and audiences to foster synergy in the local and provincial jazz community. In its second year, the Moonlight Jazz Society looks forward to supporting an amazing lineup of touring jazz artists at the Vibrant Vine’s cozy wine and meal-centred environment, and adds a Sunday series to its efforts with all ages emerging artist pop-up concerts at the French Cultural Centre in downtown Kelowna. Coffee, tea, desserts and a place to support our youth will have both series offer up different yet equally as enjoyable vibes.
Taste a little bit of everything every month, show your arts’ patronage, become part of the family! To get on the MJS mailing list email [email protected].
