Join us for the Opening Night Soirée for the Sounds of the Zoo Festival at Jerico! It will be a celebration of music, art, and creative community.
Sounds of the Zoo is a multicultural music festival and symposium that seeks to empower and unite artists, industry professionals and music lovers from around the world.
On opening night of the festival at Jerico, we will be joined by local musicians for several free performances at The Clover Room, and a free workshop on Preparing to Record with Ian Gorman at La Luna Recording. Between shows and workshops, browse and shop from a selection of local artists vending in the Jerico Workshop Room, and view an exhibit of photographer Fran Dwight's images of local musicians in the Jerico Gallery. Fiddle Leaf Cafe will be open late, serving a special dinner menu alongside their usual specialties!
