Frequencies: The Art of the Unknown
Banff Centre Summer Arts Festival ~ Jenny Belzberg Theatre
During these dynamic evenings, jazz blends with contemporary art to create an immersive experience.
Nick Dunston (double bass), Anna Webber (saxophone), Kalia Vandever (trombone), Simon Barker (drums), Lester St Louis (cello), François Houle (clarinet) and George Burton (piano) will improvise without fear, redefining jazz traditions through daring explorations of sound.
Keep the night going with an open, late-night jam session steps away at CLVB ’33—free entry with your Uncharted Frequencies ticket.
