Big Band Jazz for Camp Gencheff

The Charlottetown Jazz Ensemble, featuring 18 of PEI’s finest jazz musicians, will perform a fundraising concert in support of Camp Gencheff on July 8 at 7 pm at Jack Blanchard Hall.

The band will perform classic works by jazz artists like Duke Ellington, Gerry Mulligan and Fats Waller, as well as music from contemporary sources like Disney’s Incredibles film score and a big band version of The Simpsons TV show theme.

The Charlottetown Jazz Ensemble is delighted to perform in support of Islanders with disabilities and their families, continuing its ongoing commitment to community support, which includes annual benefit concerts and cash awards to Charlottetown high school band students.

Now in its 64th year, Camp Gencheff is a nonprofit that offers year-round programming to adults and children with intellectual and physical disabilities at its shorefront Bellevue Cove site in Stratford, PEI.

This fundraising concert will be an all-ages event. Bar service and snacks from 4S Catering will be available. Admission is by donation at the door. All proceeds will go to Camp Gencheff.
