CKDU welcomes back the Halifax Jazz Festival! 9 days of amazing music begins today with an abundance of talented performers from around the globe. With so many diverse backgrounds, and a strong expression of eclectic talent, it will be difficult not to submerge yourself in this year's unique festival.
Join CKDU 88.1 in keeping up to date with the festivities as we give you weather reports from the Festival Tent on Operation Wake Up (Monday to Friday 8-9am), interview Jazz Fest performers throughout the week, and dance like crazy at the Seahorse on Saturday July 10 for NOMO. We may even be hanging out during the free daytime concerts over at the Festival Tent from 12-5pm so make sure to say hi!
Tune in to the Saturday Morning Musical Box tomorrow from 8-9:30am and hear programmer Walter Kemp interview Dinuk Wijeratne! Conductor, composer, pianist, and music director of the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra, Dinuk Wijeratne will be talking about his music, collaborative work, and his diverse background and influences. Listen to the interview and check him out at the St.Paul's Anglican Church at 7:00pm on Thursday July 15.
