Brandon University Jazz Festival

For 40 years the Brandon Jazz Festival occupied a special place in the School of Music calendar. For faculty and students alike the festival represented an important opportunity to listen, perform, and build lasting connections with colleagues and mentors. We know that this experience was not unique to us, and that the festival meant these same things to music educators and their students from all across Canada. 

The School of Music is therefore honoured and excited to be taking over the festival, re-launching it as the Brandon University Jazz Festival after several years away. We look forward to bringing you the same top-notch performances and workshops you’ve come to expect, while creating more opportunities for our students and faculty to interact with festival-goers. 

Dr. Torjman Thomas joins this year’s festival as a guest artist and adjudicator, bringing his background in Global Jazz and Middle Eastern musical traditions to our stage.
