Where Are They Now? feat. Virginia MacDonald
- This event has passed.
Where Are They Now? is back with JUNO award-winning clarinetist and educator Virginia MacDonald!
MacDonald has established herself as a leading voice of her generation. Known for her lyrical and dynamic approach to the clarinet, she has been described by legendary clarinetist Doreen Ketchens as playing “like a scholar, very refined with plenty of soul.” As an in-demand bandleader, sidewoman, and composer, she maintains a busy international performance schedule across North America and Europe, regularly appearing at renowned venues such as Birdland, Smalls, Ronnie Scott’s, Le Duc des Lombards, and Dizzy’s. Her festival appearances span the globe, with performances at the Detroit, Rochester, Torino, Montreal, and Toronto Jazz Festivals, among others. Born and raised in Toronto, the Canadian clarinetist now resides in New York.
Virginia’s debut album, In Search Of… was released on May 29 on Cellar Music featuring luminaries Geoffrey Keezer on piano and Ira Coleman on bass, alongside drummer Curtis Nowosad and featured vocalist Laura Anglade.
