Jazz Sudbury is a charitable not-for-profit organization dedicated to inspiring appreciation for the colourful and diverse form of live music and by presenting the industry’s best in jazz, blues and world music through a festival, performances, and workshops.

“We are so excited for this year’s festival, because it really is a reset for Jazz Sudbury,” says Louis Simão, Jazz Sudbury’s new Festival Director. In addition to being the festival director, Louis is also an accomplished jazz musician, who relocated to Sudbury from Toronto last year. “We couldn’t be happier to have a new partnership with Places Des Arts to host our festival. I think our core audience is going to love the convenience and atmosphere of live jazz at Place Des Arts, and we also believe it will help us attract a new audience. Plus, partnering with Places Des Arts deepens Jazz Sudbury’s long-standing commitment to the city’s downtown core.”
