Halton Region Museum fall jazz series starts in September

The Halton Museum Foundation will host a monthly jazz concert series on the second Sunday of each month at 2 p.m. from September to December 2010. These jazz concerts will be held in the intimate and cozy surroundings of the Hearth Room, located in the historic Alexander Barn.

“The Halton Region Museum’s jazz concert series is a great way to experience local jazz while enjoying the Museum’s historic surroundings,” said Regional Chair Gary Carr. “It is a wonderful fundraiser for the Museum Foundation and participants certainly get their money’s worth.”

This critically acclaimed jazz series has developed a loyal following. Limited tickets are available at the door for $20 per person, per show. A Subscriber Package for $80 is available and includes tickets to all four events, preferred seating and a special complimentary VIP holiday luncheon and musical performance before the concert on December 12. Brunch will be available for non-subscribers for an additional cost of $20 per person at the December 12th concert.

According to Steve Baker, Halton Museum Foundation Director, and Jazz Series spokesperson, “Jazz lovers will not be disappointed with our second jazz series. We have a top notch line-up that will appeal to a wide variety of musical tastes. The four concerts include everything from gypsy jazz, klezmer, and jazz standards to a harmonica trio.”

The four concerts are:

• September 12: Sitar Django
• October 10: Fern Lindzon Duo
• November 14: Brenda Lewis
• December 12: Ingo Andersen Harmonica Trio
