Celebrated Canadian pianist David Restivo brings his acclaimed trio to Tuesday Night Jazz at the Church!

For this special trio concert, Restivo takes a break from his current teaching duties at Selkirk College in Nelson, BC for a few select west coast dates featuring NYC drummer Alyssa Falk and for the Victoria date, bassist John Lee!

This masterclass is open to everyone, musicians and non-musicians alike, who would like to explore an interactive Q&A and masterclass with one of the county's finest pianists and educators! Admission is free (donations accepted).

David Restivo is an award-winning pianist and composer. Born in Lansing, Michigan, molded by the mountains and coasts of New England, and based primarily in Toronto, Canada since 1982, he has been a sought-after and influential figure in Canada’s jazz community since the late 1980s. He recently relocated to Nelson, BC after accepting an offer to join the full time music faculty at Selkirk College. 

Friday, April 14th: 5pm ~ The Roots of Contemporary Cuban Music.

Join us for an interactive workshop exploring the rich history, rhythms and melodic lines of Cuban genres such as danzon, habaneras, son and charanga. OKAN leaders, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne (both Juno winners and Latin Grammy and Grammy nominees) will take participants on an journey through the musical traditions (from European court music to African-based religious music) that inform their award winning repertoire, and that of other contemporary Cuban composers.

OKAN will be performing at Hermann's Upstairs on April 13th and April 14th.  Info and tickets at www.caravanbc.com
