Jazz Sudbury Festival 2025

Jazz Sudbury presents its 16th annual Jazz Sudbury Festival, a highly anticipated event that invites some of the best artists in the field to Sudbury.

The winner of the 2025 Jazz Sudbury Emerging Artist Showcase, Josh Warren, will open the show at 7 pm, followed by our headliners, the Anthony D’Alessandro Quartet and Eliana Cuevas with Jeremy Ledbetter.

Josh Warren is a Victoria-born bassist, composer and arranger currently finishing his bachelor’s degree in music at Humber College in Toronto. Lauded for his versatility, Josh performs in a variety of styles. While rooted in the jazz tradition, Warren’s influences span a diverse range of genres, heavily reflected in his original music. Warren is accompanied by his ensemble.

Outstanding pianist and jazz artist Anthony D’Alessandro and his Quartet are welcomed back to Sudbury after many years.

D’Alessandro is a pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader with a “natural feeling for swing and groove” and “scintillating technique”. He has performed in many notable clubs, concert halls and jazz festivals around the world.

He is followed on stage by Eliana Cuevas and Jeremy Ledbetter, well known in the Canadian musical landscape for the outstanding quality of their work, composing and performing as bandleaders of their own Latin Jazz projects. Eliana’s extraordinary vocal prowess is on full display in this duo setting.

The evening at Place des Arts includes a soaring performance by 2025’s winners of the Emerging Artist Competition. 

One ticket: three performance.
