Gala for the Forest with Gypsophilia

2016Gypsophilia

Four-time ECMA award-winning jazz band Gypsophilia will perform at The Playhouse in a fundraiser for the Conservation Council of New Brunswick. This 7-piece instrumental band mixes hot jazz with klezmer, funk, and world rhythms.

Gypsophilia will perform a live show for us at The Fredericton Playhouse on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7:30pm. Get your favourite seat today at The Playhouse. Tickets: $40+HST. We can issue a $20 charitable tax receipt upon request. If you can’t make our fundraiser, you can buy a ticket here for one of our amazing volunteers to say thanks.

“Gypsophilia usually just wows you with intricate playing and supple arrangements, but now more layers are brought in,” CBC’s Bob Mersereau’s review of Night Swimming. 

There is a definite edge to their music. [They] blur the lines between Django Reinhardt-inspired jazz on the one hand and indie music on the other – it’s quite incredible… if you ever see their name you must go and see them – it’s a visual delight as well,” Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2. 

Be sure to take in all the fun happening during 5 Days for the Forest – Sept. 19-23 in Fredericton. We got a forest walk, tasting & poetry, films, TREEvia night and live music for all to enjoy.
