Usually at 4:00 pm on the last Sunday of the month some of Toronto’s best jazz musicians come for a lively service of music and reflection to lift the spirit. It lasts about an hour and is followed by our “Wine and Perrier” reception.

Jazz Vespers – February 22 at 4.00pm
Join us for our February Jazz Vespers featuring Toronto-based vocalist and composer Alyssa Giammaria, joined by Jen Lo on piano and Ben Dwyer on bass. Alyssa is known for her expressive voice and thoughtful interpretations of jazz standards and original works. Together, the trio will offer an intimate and reflective afternoon of jazz within the contemplative setting of Jazz Vespers.
Alyssa Giammaria is a vocalist and composer based in Toronto. Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, she has been involved in the arts since the age of four, performing in musicals and studying piano and voice through the Royal Conservatory of Music. She later pursued jazz studies at Mohawk College, continued her education at The New School in Manhattan, and completed her Master of Music at the University of Toronto.
Described as having “a unique style that fits perfectly on the international jazz scene today or tomorrow” (Paris Move), Alyssa performs at jazz clubs and festivals throughout Canada and Europe. She released her debut EP Moments in 2021 and her full-length album In Time in September 2023. In 2025, she began releasing a solo piano and voice project titled Far Away. In addition to performing, she works as an arranger and music editor across a wide range of genres, always seeking to create an engaging and honest musical experience.
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of world-class jazz and soul-stirring reflections at Etobicoke Jazz Vespers. Whether you’re a long-time jazz lover or a newcomer to the scene, you’ll be uplifted by the incredible talent of the musicians.
We look forward to sharing an hour of inspiring music and community with you, followed by our welcoming “Wine and Perrier” reception. See you there!
