Featuring the Tasha Adams Quartet (Jacob Krieger, Patrick Thompson, Tasha Adams, Adam Robertson) and the VIU Faculty Band (Rosemary Lindsay, Ben Henriques, Lee Ellefson, Brent Jarvis, Ken Lister, Hans Verhoeven)
Julian Award Nominee and saxophonist Ben Henriques has performed with Joe Lovano, Ben Monder, Jim McNeely and more. Having cut his teeth in the Montreal jazz-scene for the past decade, he has made Ladysmith, BC, his home where he performs and teaches. Ben has released two albums, both of which have received critical acclaim; “The Responsibility Club” and “Captain Awesome” and both feature his original compositions which are a blend of jazz vocabulary mixed with Ben’s unique twist.
Ben spends most of his time at Vancouver Island University where he teaches woodwinds, improv, theory, composition and arranging.
