Event Details
The Ostara Project, led by award-winning bassist Jodi Proznick, showcases the strength and creativity of Canadian women in jazz. Ostara artists are top-tier musicians, composers and bandleaders who reflect the geographical, cultural and creative diversity of Canada’s musical landscape. Guest vocalists are invited to join the instrumental group on a per-project basis.
The Ostara Project’s self-titled debut album was nominated for a JUNO award in 2023. From 2023-2026, the group has been working on The Ancestors’ Project, a two-album project that includes the instrumental album, “Roots” (Rhea Records, April 2025), the vocal album,“Wings” (Rhea Records, spring 2026). The group has toured extensively across Canada, including a cross-country festival circuit in 2023 and combines performance with education and empowerment through its “Sisters in Jazz” workshops.
The music for this performance is funded in part by the Recording Industries Music Performance Trust Fund in cooperation with the Toronto Musicians’ Association.
