SUMMARY:Ottawa Jazz Festival presents the Nicole Ratte Jazz Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Well-known on the local stages\, Nicole Ratté evolved in different styles before developing a true passion for jazz. At home on the stage\, she is known for her warm and effervescent presence and her light and sensual voice. Her career is based on a solid experience of classical\, pop-rock and musical theater performances\, both vocal and instrumental\, which adds more depth into her jazz singing. \nNicole Ratté and her quintet have prepared a tribute to one of Nicole’s favourite composers\, Michel Legrand. You will hear many of Michel Legrand’s most beautiful songs as well as some lesser known pieces that are just as delightful\, in English and French. Soft romantic songs will share the stage with energetic rhythms while a touch of humour will color the whole performance. Nicole and her accomplice will bring you in a variety of emotions and atmospheres.

SUMMARY:Immigrant Heritage Walking Tour: Vanier (in English)
DESCRIPTION:The Vanier area settlement began in the 19th century and grew in 1908\, from the small communities of Janeville\, Clarkstown and Clandeboye\, to become Eastview. It was in 1969 that the area took the name Vanier. The francophone population was dominant for many decades of the 20th century\, but today there are now many sizeable newcomer populations. Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s\, the area began attracting Inuit\, African\, Afro-Caribbean and Middle Eastern communities. \nDiego Elizondo serves as the French- and English-language tour guide for Vanier. He is a history and political science graduate at the University of Ottawa. He has conducted several walking tours of Orléans. \nPlease feel free to register for the Immigrant Heritage Walking Tours 2019 HERE. \n  \n  \n  \n
