Vancouver’s music scene is full of surprises, but this one’s different—in the best possible way. Jasmine Jazz is making a highly anticipated return to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, and if you’ve never heard an erhu trade licks with a jazz trio, here’s your chance.
Winners of the prestigious West Coast Music Award, this extraordinary ensemble combines the Jodi Proznick Trio and the Vancouver Chinese Music ensemble. Together, they reimagine jazz through the soulful voices of traditional Chinese instruments, creating a mesmerizing dialogue between cultures.ent.
The 2025 edition features the Vancouver premiere of Breath of Joy, a new composition by Bill Coon, alongside fresh arrangements that turn centuries-old melodies into something new, bold, and deeply moving. Expect improvisation, cultural crossover, and moments that’ll have you questioning why you’ve never heard jazz like this before.
Set in one of Vancouver’s most peaceful hidden gems, this show delivers not just music—but an experience. With koi ponds, stone bridges, and bamboo-lined paths as your backdrop, Jasmine Jazz offers the kind of vibe you won’t find at any other concert this spring.
If you’re into genre mashups, live music in beautiful places, or just want to impress a date with something a little more artsy than Netflix, this is your moment.
