The Old School House Arts Centre is planning a fundraising night full of world-class jazz music in Qualicum Beach.
Phil Dwyer and Ken Lister will play in the intimate jazz club setting of TOSH on May 8, according to a news release.
"Why does this night matter? Art isn’t just something we admire—it’s something that elevates our lives," the release said. "The artists, musicians, students, and teachers who belong to TOSH bring limitless potential to our community. This event helps keep art in session."
