featured performer
Instant Composers Pool (ICP) Orchestra
With the playfully volatile and oft-contradictory duo of Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink at its core for more than 40 years, ICP is now a long-established 10-piece ensemble that features several of the most original voices in creative music. The ICP Orchestra is a radical band at the peak of its powers and brimming with outrageous (and outrageously varied) soloists.
Friday, Sept. 5, 8pm, Main Stage, River Run Centre
about the festival
Experience Guelph jazz
The Festival has earned critical international acclaim for presenting innovative jazz and creative improvised music in a community setting. We feature: • a main stage program showcasing Canadian and international artists in Guelph's concert hall • a free downtown jazz tent on Saturday • numerous other concerts at a variety of community venues, including a church, an art gallery and a youth music centre. Opening the Festival is a three-day Colloquium that looks at jazz's influence on society and culture.
