Duke Ellington’s Far East Suite
Inspired by the 1963-64 world tours of the Ellington orchestra, The “Far East Suite” is a captivating masterpiece that vividly captures the sounds and sights that enchanted Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn during their travels through countries such as Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Afghanistan, India, Iran, and Japan. Despite being one of Ellington’s most beloved suites, it is very rarely heard live.
Join a 15-piece band from the Ottawa Jazz Orchestra for a thrilling all-Ellington programme featuring selections from Afro Bossa, Queen’s Suite, Latin American Suite, New Orleans Suite, and more, and then culminating in a complete performance of the seminal Far East Suite in all its groovy glory.

Time: Show up at 7:30. Be on time to sit with the group! There will be a line up. Music is 8pm.

Location: Fourth Stage. NAC -National Arts Centre 1 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K1P 5W1

It’s a lovely venue with tables for four. We’ll get a few of those in a bunch and enjoy a drink before the performance. Photo of me below and I'll update it with what I'll wear closer to the date. Please be sure that your Meetup profile has your portrait photo because then we'll be looking for you also. Please **RSVP to this meetup group if you're coming and cancel your RSVP if you change your mind. **

Good times!
