Gold-ranked groups.

In addition to its focus as a competitive performance venue, the BC Interior Jazz Festival features the Jazz
Masters’Concert, a show featuring a special guest artist along with the talents of many of the festival’s adjudicators and the  finest professional players from around the Okanagan valley. This Friday evening event is often sold out, and is always  one of the city’s premier Jazz concerts.This year's event is on Friday, April 13th at 7:30pm at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

The festival is open to the public, with performances running daily at both the Kelowna Community Theatre and the Rotary  Centre for the Arts. Free instrumental and vocal workshops also run at the Rotary Centre for the Arts on
Friday, April 13th,  and Saturday, April 14th.
