January 18, 2025 CONCERT WITH Christine Tassan et Les Imposteures

An award-winning gypsy jazz, swing and bebop ensemble based in Quebec.

Tickets are $35: available on our website www.beaconridgeproductions.com , at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre reception, in person or by calling 250-595-7946

For more than 20 years, Christine Tassan, an outstanding guitarist, has been steering her ensemble, Les Imposteures, with boundless enthusiasm and confidence. Blessed with contagious dynamism, she is one of the rare female jazz and gypsy jazz guitar soloists; she stands out for her sensitive playing, her quiet strength, and her irresistible audacity. As a singer, composer, writer, director, and producer, she has contributed to numerous musical projects in Quebec and internationally, both as a leader and as a guest musician (most notably with The Lost Fingers, Paul Kunigis, Le trio Martin Bellemare and Canto Tango).

In 2003, she founded her gypsy jazz and swing band, Christine Tassan et les Imposteures. The band was an immediate success and became a highlight in the international gypsy jazz scene. Unique in its kind, it was originally an all-woman band performing in over 600 festivals and venues across Canada, Europe, the United States and China.

We are pleased to welcome Christine and her talented ensemble back to Victoria for what will surely be a wonderful treat of exceptional music and songs. Not to be missed!
