Coastal Jazz and Blues Society has announced the lineup for the 2021 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival with more than 100 virtual events scheduled.
The 35th edition of the annual summer tradition will be live streaming to follow the guidelines set down by the Provincial Health Office. Should there be changes to the small gatherings guidelines, plans are in place to allow for limited in-person attendance at some select events.
Following the cancellation of the 2020 festival and ongoing uncertainty around live performance, organizers felt it best to have everything in place for a vibrant and exciting virtual festival. What is certain is that this year’s event is loaded with the kind of world-class local, national and international jazz music that has made Vancouver’s jazz scene well-known across the world.
