The WJO will hold its third annual Women-Led Jazz Symposium in coordination with the Women’s Day Concert 3.0. The Women-Led Jazz Symposium offers an amazing lineup of presenters from whom participants can listen and learn. The sessions include: a keynote by three-time Juno-nominated bassist, composer, producer, and educator Jodi Proznick; jazz instrumental and vocal creativity sessions (called ‘You Can Do It!’), and a women in jazz history session (called ‘Jazz Giants’) led by some of Canada’s finest women in jazz. The symposium will be an amazing opportunity for all attendees: students, educators, musicians, composers, and jazz enthusiasts! All are welcome!
