The Festival is the first of its kind at the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium (CHRC) and is a 3-day celebration of performing arts, culture, community and collaboration.

Beginning on Friday 11 November, festival goers will be treated with a spectacular opening night concert. The concert will be a double feature: the collaboration between How About That and the Pablo Blitzer Manouche Quintet. Join us afterwards for a complimentary drink.

Saturday 12 November brings afternoon workshops, delving into “jazz analysis of a standard” with Glen Hodges and “harmony in improvisation” with Chris Frater. This is a unique learning opportunity and is open to all ages, abilities and instruments/vocals. After a light afternoon tea break, you will then be able to sit back and enjoy our second concert of the festival: a funk fusion band presented by Danny Stitt.

Sunday 13 November will have morning workshops – a “rhythm and bass” with Danny and Phill Stitt and “melody in improvisation” with Pablo Blitzer. A light lunch will then be available, followed by our final afternoon concert featuring the band Triptych alongside community musicians.
