Markham stages summer of music

The 18th annual Markham Jazz Festival is taking place this month for four days. Several locations along Main Street will be hosting performances, and there will be three free stages set up along the street.

The opening night concert will be held on August 13. It will feature Diana Panton and will take place at the Varley Art Gallery beginning at 7:15 pm. Tickets are $50 each. The performance will be preceded by a reception where wine and beer will be served and guests will have the opportunity to bid on a variety of items as part of a silent auction.

Over the four days, some of the international artists who are confirmed to include Bria Skonberg, Charlie Hunter, Albert Lee, and Cindy Cashdollar and the Sicilian Jazz Project. Other events taking place during the festival include an artist's talk at the Varley Art Gallery presented by Harold Mabern.

Organizers are still looking for sponsors, with fees ranging from $1,000 up to $7,000. Sponsors are being asked to help supply T-Shirts, tote Bags, and a jazz festival hat.

Markham poster printing companies are often asked to help advertise events such as the jazz festival, which will take place on Main Street from August 13 to 16. To find out about all of the performances and event being held, call 905-471-5299.
