THE LIMERICK Jazz Festival will honour the trailblazing women who have shaped the world of jazz, this September.
Blending Irish and International jazz virtuosos, the festival will take place from September 20 to 24.
Supported by the Arts Council and Limerick City and County Council, this year's festival will put a spotlight on the women who have and continue to redefine jazz.
Luminaries like the enchanting Honor Heffernan, the piano prodigy Carol Nelson, the captivating vocalist Beverly Beirne, and the star saxophonist Camilla George from the UK.
The festival will hit all the right notes with an all-star quintet led by the masterful Tim Garland, a multi-award winning UK saxophonist and composer, joined by the unparalleled Jason Rebello on keyboards.
Hold onto your high-hats as the Conor Guilfoyle group will resurrect the timeless allure of "Art Pepper plus Eleven" in a big band recreation.
The festival is also proud to present Joe O'Callaghan, a local luminary with national acclaim, leading a group that is sure to resonate with every note.
Enjoy a full-blown jazz experience that will culminate in the much-anticipated Sunday afternoon triple bill concert at Dolan's Warehouse.
The festival will bring the dynamic Lee Meehan Quintet, the soul-stirring Nigel Mooney Quartet featuring the illustrious Jean Toussaint, and the brilliance of Nils Kavanagh, crowned as the Young Irish Jazz Musician 2022.
Maestro behind the Limerick Jazz Society, John Daly, said: "Our 12th Limerick Jazz Festival is on the horizon, and we can't wait to fill September with the magic of jazz. Building on last year's resounding success, this year's lineup is set to dazzle. With fringe events popping up across the city, we're reaching out to every music lover. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the Arts Council and Limerick City and County Council for making this possible.”
