What happens when you take one of Canada’s greatest vocalists and storytellers and mix in some jazz and the SSO?

You get an unforgettable evening!

Star of CBC’s Tempo, Julie Nesrallah teamed up with the SSO to record a new album of jazz standards and torch songs in the fall of 2022, and now you can enjoy them live in concert!

The album “Too Good To Talk About” comes out later in 2024.
