Early Bird draw, Benny Goodman tribute concert

We hope you can join us at Dominion-Chalmers United Church on December 4, 2008 for what will surely be a night to remember: the IJO will pay tribute to the legendary 1938 performance of the Benny Goodman Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. A fifteen-piece repertory orchestra will feature clarinet wizard David Renaud, and vocalist Jozée Devoua, performing the charts used at the 1938 concert, as well as small group jams showcasing the talents of the IJO musicians. 

As if that weren’t enough, we’re conducting an “Early Bird” contest for this event, open exclusively to members of our e-mail list. Purchase one or more tickets by November 15, 2008, then contact us to have your name entered in a draw for a pair of free tickets to the show. For each ticket purchased, you will be given one entry to the draw for two free tickets. 

Tickets are on sale now. If you purchase your tickets online via TicketWeb, please send an email to Shelley Martin, smartin@impressionsinjazz.ca, indicating that you have purchased your tickets and would like to be entered into the draw. You can access the ticket site for the event here.

The number for each ticket is the last line of text on the front of the ticket and looks something like: “Order: XYZ1ABCDEF - #100”.
