The Noosa Jazz Festival kicks off this weekend with a diverse program of events of over 10 days and concludes with a Father’s Day Free Community Jazz Concert at Lions Riverstage on Gympie Terrace, Noosaville on Sunday 7 September.
The festival opens with the Australian Jazz Ensemble and Noosa Chorale bringing to life a selection of jazz favourites in a unique combination of the 70 Chorus voices and the Jazz Ensemble, promising a musical extravaganza.
It includes Jazz Party sessions at The J Theatre in Noosa Junction and two afternoon matinees at the heritage-listed Majestic Theatre, Pomona, a wonderful live music venue. The Jazz Party concerts are a unique highlight featuring individual musicians invited to play at the festival and formed into bands and ensembles that guarantee exciting improvisation of traditional jazz and a musical experience unlike any other.
Between the concerts, jazz musicians will entertain over lunches and dinners at Lucio’s Marina, Tewantin; Noosa Springs Resort and Spa, Noosa Heads; Trattoria Benati, Noosa Junction; and Sunset River Cruises, followed by a dinner concert at the Marina Bar.
A family picnic concert is a perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day, 7 September, at The Riverstage along the Noosa River in Noosaville.
