NEW LOCATION : Shop 5, 48 - 52 Lincoln Causeway, Wodonga VIC (note - NOT postal address) JAZZ Albury Wodonga has recently been successful in securing a lease of the old Cheese Factory on Gateway Island, Lincoln Causeway and will continue to present national and international artists at the new venue and increase its role in music education in the area. The previous dedicated jazz venue ‘the JAZZ basement’ was located at the rear of Elgin’s Hotel Complex, Wodonga in the old Irene House building. It successfully hosted local, national and international jazz artists there from April 2004 to September 2009. When the opportunity arose for JAZZ Albury Wodonga to move to the new space on Gateway Island, an association developed with LIVID Productions and an agreement made to share the space with them. LIVID will present theatre productions at the venue and also increase their role in education through workshops and master classes. The new JAZZ basement will also provide a rehearsal space for both non-profit organizations.LIVID Productions have produced highly successful shows in recent times including Godspell, Nunsense, Pinkalicious and their current major project Jesus Christ Super Star. Super Star is in the final stages of rehearsal and begins on October 8th 2009 at the Albury Performing Arts Centre. JAZZ Albury Wodonga has hosted many great national and international performances at the JAZZ basement, 69 in total at the old Elgin’s venue. These have included several prominent jazz artists from the United States and Europe as well as many of Australia’s finest jazz musicians. It has become a ‘must play’ Australian jazz venue. The first show at the new venue can be seen on October 23rd and features the Tom Vincent Quartet from Tasmania. As a result of a lot of very hard work by some dedicated volunteers, the JAZZ basement will provide our arts community with a great performance space and will enable both JAZZ Albury Wodonga and LIVID productions to develop music and performing arts for many years to come.
