Vetta presents The Four Jays – Live

The next concert in the Vetta Chamber Music series at ArtSpring showcases a dynamic quartet of B.C.-based musicians.

The Vancouver-based group presents The Four Jays – Live on Monday, March 10 at 2:30 p.m. with a program that runs the gamut from Impressionist to 20th century compositions to jazz and tango music performed by four fabulous musicians whose first names begin with the letter J. They are Vetta’s artistic director Joan Blackman (violin), Jane Hayes (piano), Julia Nolan (saxophone) and Jodi Proznick (bass). Blackman, Hayes and Nolan have performed for years as a trio, with Proznick added in more recent years.

Monday’s concert program consists of: Claude Debussy’s Sonata for violin and piano; Couleurs d’un Rêve by Jean-Luc Defontaine; Épitaphe de Jean Harlow by Charles Koechlin; Nikola Resanovic’s Trio for alto sax, violin and piano; Primavera Portea and Concert d’aujourd’hui by Astor Piazzolla; Proznick’s Sun Song Suite; Resilience by Eileen Padgett; and Objects in the Mirror by Jimuel Dave Dagta.

Tickets for the show are available through ArtSpring.

Vetta Chamber Music is known for its intimate concerts and innovative programming that entertains and educates as it showcases B.C.’s best professional musicians in collaboration with guest artists.
