Beach United Church is excited to present The Ferrport Jazz Ensemble on Saturday, February 1st at 4:30pm featuring special guest guitarist, Michael Vuscan, as they share a concert filled with old jazz standards that will leave you humming along in recognition.

No matter the occasion, The Ferrport Jazz Ensemble creates a musical journey that carries audiences from the Sunny Side of the Street all the way down to that Wonderful World that exists Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and beyond.
