Strong Women Strong Music 2020

Come and help us celebrate International Women’s Day! Join us on the 4th and 8th of March for the 14th annual Strong Women Strong Music concert series, featuring West Coast’s most prominent women jazz musicians singing up support for Enterprising Women Making Art (EWMA), a program of Atira Women’s Resource Society. Revel in the voices and music of these talented artists while investing in the soul and spirit of the Downtown Eastside, where EWMA helps art and empowerment bloom.

One hundred percent of all proceeds will go to EWMA.

For 17 years EWMA, provides safe, income-generating opportunities for women who are struggling with poverty, substance use and or mental wellness, and who have been impacted by violence / abuse; opportunities that are free from exploitation and judgement. EWMA is a place that for many women, makes hope possible.

For the fifth year in a row year we are thrilled to again be partnering with Vancouver Coastal Jazz. With their support we have been able to extend the concert to two nights and to use their fantastic location Frankie’s Jazz Club, where food will also be available. The Strong Women Strong Music Concerts are part of a month long celebration of women in jazz.

Time: 7pm-10pm – Performances start at 8pm.
