Angela Kelman’s Have a Holly Jazzy Christmas

Presented by Piva in collaboration with Anvil Theatre

Piva presents: Jazz at the Anvil celebrates local, talented musicians from the Metro Vancouver area. The goal of these shows is to both elevate the appreciation of jazz, but also to engage, strengthen, and amplify arts in the community. Piva is also passionate about supporting the community: proceeds from these events go to New Westminster charities.

This year, we are excited to have an encore performance of “Have A Holly Jolly Jazzy Christmas” with the Tom Keenlyside Quartette and featured vocalist, Angela Kelman. Enjoy some swinging Christmas songs and traditional classics with the all star band of Tom Keenlyside on sax, flute and clarinet, Michael Creber on piano, Nino Di Pasquale on drums and Brent Gubbels on bass. This concert will be sure to put you in the Seasonal spirit and keep the Grinch away.
