Tony with Dean Hollin at one of our concerts! Tony and Doreen enjoying a glass! |
In the spring of 2015, Doreen Norris organized a group of local musicians, to have a "jam session" as a birthday gift to Tony Bauer, a local musician himself and a great supporter of music and musicians in the area. Tony decided to share his special gift with friends in the community and invited them to listen in. On March 19th of that year, at the LE.Shore Memorial Library, three of these musicians shared a night of jazz with some 40 of Tony's friends.
That same night a small group of supporters convinced Tony and Doreen that nights like this should continue and so was born THORNBURY JAZZWORKS
Our Goals
We've expanded our concerts to eight a year and many more local and Ontario musicians have joined us including Andy Harasymczuk, Fergus Hambleton, Robert Horvath, Drew Jurecka, Mike Lewis, Bill King and Dave Young. In 2023 The Doreen Norris Music Fund was established in her memory as a means to support music awards for local students. We extend thanks to our sponsors and supporters who help make our Friday evenings such a great success. Also, a big thanks to all the volunteers that help make these events happen - those arranging for the musicians, the setup and take down crews, the publicity team, the volunteers that take the tickets - without each of them the events wouldn't be possible. With your support, interest and attendance we hope to keep bringing these musicians to you for many more years. |
