Outreach Project 2010

Howard Rees and DAREarts, along with the TDSB and the TCDSB, have established a 5 year Outreach Project designed to bring Master Jazz Musicians to 'high priority' neighborhoods of the GTA. In our 3rd season (2010-'11) we will work with schools in North Scarborough. Barry Harris will lead several rehearsals, and be the Guest of Honor along with Special Guest Charles McPherson at the final concert on January 28th, 2011.
