The Clarence Jazz Festival, 21-26 February has fired up the griddle again in 2012 with a smorgasbord of jazzy treats.
Recognised as Tasmania's premier jazz festival, Clarence is a perfect host for the wide variety of jazz styles that are on offer throughout the program. With feature concerts presented in 2012 at Simmons Park Lindisfarne, Montagu Bay Park, Rosny Farm (behind Eastlands) and the Bellerive Boardwalk, it's like a royal progression of sound and venue. Also featuring the Jazz Lounge for your intimate jazz experiences, the program is now available online at the events website, facebook and by order through council at (03) 6245 8600.
Held in beautiful outdoor, riverside and historic locations, the Clarence Jazz Festival is one of Tasmania's most popular music events. Audiences love the great performances, unique locations and unrivalled good vibes.
The Festival presents the very best in local jazz talent and great performers from around Australia. For 2012 the Festival is proud to announce the return of a favourite Festival Ambassador, trombonist and award winning singer an Barnett. The Festival Ambassador is a key element of the Clarence Jazz Festival; jamming with every band, mentoring the Young Jazz Player finalists and guiding audiences through the Festival's six-day musical journey.
The intimate and unique atmosphere of the Jazz Lounge set in the 200 year old Rosny Barn is a confirmed favourite with the audience. In 2011 the Lounge hosted two very special guest artist, the Tom Vincent Quartet featuring Julie O'Hara.
The Festival begins in beautiful parks and gardens on the eastern shore of the River Derwent and culminates in three days and nights of concerts on the Bellerive Boardwalk overlooking the Kangaroo Bay marina. Audiences at the Boardwalk love the fresh Tasmanian food prepared on site and bar serving local Tasmanian wines and beverages.
