Waterfront Park Concert Series
Another great Sunday night of music at Waterfront Park.
The 2010 Concert Schedule is as follows:
Sunday July 11th 7 - 8:30pm
Elton Lammie
For 20 years now Elton has been performing from coast to coast in Canada, the USA, Japan and in recent years has earned applause in Italy. Elton has spent a number of years singing tribute shows to artists like Roy Orbison and Rascal Flatts. He has won dozens of major singing contests in North America but his biggest accomplishment to date was entering a televised Opera singing contest searching for Canada’s next Opera star. Although he knew nothing of Opera as a music or as a culture, against all odds he won the contest and has been severely bitten by the Opera Bug! Elton Lammie is one of the most talented performers in Southern Ontario. Elton's performance will take you from Opera to Rock to Country and back again. He has performed for audiences around the world, yet for Elton the simplicity of the old cliche "there is no place like home" rings true. He and his band will have you telling your friends of his tremendous talents and searching out his next concert date.
Sunday July 25th 7 - 8:30pm
The Toronto All-Star Big Band
One of the most exciting bands around, the Toronto All-Star Big Band revives the spirit, style and sound of 1930’s and 40’s - that golden age of the big bands. Armed with brilliant programming, slick choreography and witty cultural nostalgia, this vibrant cast of awesome young talent has earned its position at the top of the list of presenters throughout Ontario and in the U.S. Theatrical engagements are far-reaching, and recent gigs have included the Port Hope Jazz Festival, Port Elgin Big Band Celebration, Beaches International Jazz Festival, Art Park in Lewiston N.Y. and Toronto’s famed Palais Royale and Casa Loma.
Sunday August 1st 7 - 8:30pm
The Juliet Dunn Quintet
Winner of the Niagara Music Award's 2009 Jazz Group of the Year jazz vocalist Juliet Dunn came to the Niagara region in 2002 when she was hired as a singer and actress by the prestigious Shaw Festival Theatre. At Shaw, Juliet performed in numerous productions for their 2002 and 2003 seasons.
Ever since then, Juliet has made Niagara her home, and the past few years have seen her blossom into the jazz singer that she is today. She has been performing with local jazz musicians since 2004 and performs extensively in the region as well as abroad.
She most recently returns from a 5 month contract overseas which took her all the way from Singapore to Bordeaux, France by way of Malyasia, India, the Middle East, Egypt, Europe and more. Some of her other past performing contracts abroad include, Morocco, Hong Kong, Brazil and the Carribean. She really enjoys her performances abroad but is always thrilled to return home to perform in the Niagara region.
Her resume also boasts several Festivals in the region (Willowbank Jazz Festival, Jazz on the Ridge, Grape and Wine Festival, Folk Arts Festival, Icewine Festival, New Vintage Festival) and more.
Juliet also performs with the Shea D Duo (with Peter Shea) as well as the Kitt Cat Collective which is a collection of talented Niagara musicians.
Juliet is thrilled to be a part of the Friends of Crystal Beach series for her second year in a row and she hopes that you will enjoy the show
