Welcome to the 38th Annual BC Interior Jazz Festival.
Registration for the 2015 festival is now open. The registration deadline is Friday, February 6th, 2015, but the festival often fills up before this date. Register now to avoid disappointment! The BC Interior Jazz Festival has moved to an online registration system. You can register by navigating to the "Rules/Forms" page and following the link posted there. After registering your groups, you will receive a confirmation email; please print a copy to submit with your payment. Spaces will be reserved in the order in which registrations are received but will not be guaranteed until payment has been made in full. BCIJF will hold your reservation in abeyance for a period of no more than 14 days from the registration date receipt to allow for payment to reach us. This year’s event falls on April 16th - 18th, 2015. We are pleased to announce Terry Promane as our feature artist and the following as adjudicators: Sean Bray, Bernie Addington, Loni Moger, Rich Sumstad, Jodi Proznick, Greg Bush, Roger Treece, and Janet Warren. The BC Interior Jazz Festival hosts Jazz Bands, Jazz and Combination Choirs, and Jazz Combos over the three-day event, and remains one of very few competitive (ranked) festivals in Western Canada. As an affiliate of MusicFest Canada, the BC Interior Jazz Festival is able to issue invitations to MusicFest Canada for select 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 17th at 7:30 pm 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 17th, and Saturday, April 18th. We look forward to seeing you in April of 2015!
