Te Whare Tapere Performing Arts Precinct are holding an open day and the Christchurch Big Band Jazz Festival is joining in the fun! From 10am – 2pm the Court Theatre, The Piano, the Isaac Theatre Royal and Tūranga will be open to the public and the CBBJF bands will be performing for free at various times in these spaces. All band gigs are just a short sweet half hour slot to allow for other events to occur as part of the Open Day. For more information on other events happening as part of the Open Day check the venue websites.
