The 15th annual Markham Jazz Festival will take place on August 16-19, 2012 starting with our ‘15th. Anniversary Birthday BLUES BASH at the Flato Markham Theatre on August 16th. in the evening and then a free weekend of high-quality performances during the day and evening on August 17, 18, and 19 and 21 on Main Street Unionville at the Unionville Millennium Bandstand, Varley Art Gallery and McKay Art Centre Beer and Wine Garden, as well as various other stages around town. To compliment the Main Stage events, "Hot Spots" (a variety of venues in Unionville and Markham) present fantastic jazz artists in a 'Street Festival and Concert Environment'. Festival attendees can wander from venue to venue, soaking up the party atmosphere, the jazz music, and the historic beauty of the villages of Unionville and Markham- a truly a magical experience.
The festival will highlight a large variety of music within the family of jazz. The festival committee has worked hard to recruit a wide range of diverse, interesting and well-known artists who will present jazz in all its forms.
Performers include: Heavyweights Brass Band, The Absolute Faith Quintet, Ray Montford, Chuck Jackson's Big Bad Blues Band, Quincy Bullen, Rob Christian Quartet, Quisha Wint, Sophia Perlman and more!
