It is with great pride that the Sutton Jazz Festival celebrates the great success of its mini-series of seven free outdoor concerts.  There are several reasons for this result.  But where to start?

• Should we talk about the outstanding quality of the musicians who awed and delighted the public?
• Underline the assiduous participation of volunteers who ensured the safety of the public with regard to the necessary health measures and took on their various responsabilities with flair?
• Applaud the audience who converged week after week to attend the concerts and to give generous donations?
• Recall the invaluable contribution of our partners such as Canadian Heritage, the Town of Sutton, the Sutton Tourist Information Office, Mont Sutton, Desjardins, the Sutton Brouërie microbrewery, and the Rumeur Affamée as well as Publici-Terre and Duke CPA Inc. for their contribution in services?

In this time of the pandemic, we believe we have contributed to the well-being of the public by providing the opportunity to listen to great artists in a safe environment.

As proof, testimonials received on our email address confirm that the decision to hold the free outdoor concerts was greeted by the public.

On behalf of the Sutton Jazz Festival Board of Directors, a big thanks to everyone who gave meaning to our initiative.

Daniel Dufresne, president
