The music starts at 5pm and goes until 11pm. A shuttle bus will be available to The J theatre, plus a bar will be open and a lounge area.
Noosa Jazz Party events will also feature in a range of venues throughout the shire including the popular lunch series at the River Deck Restaurant, Rump House Restaurant, Hastings Street’s Miss Moneypenny’s and a free Sunday concert at the Lions Riverstage, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.
The Noosa Jazz Club has also teamed up with the Noosa Chorale to present two concerts at The J, Noosa Heads that will celebrate the Roaring Twenties.
The concerts will be held on Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August with 70 of Noosa’s finest singers led by conductor Adrian King teaming up with the Australian Jazz Ensemble featuring Bob Barnard AM, Paul Furniss, Peter Locke, Nigel Date and James Clark, plus remarkable singer Juliarna Clark.
The audience is encouraged to get into the theme of the night and dress in their best 1920s gear as they dance along to Roaring Twenties jazz greats and all-time hits from Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin.
