Hamilton All Star Jazz

A message to all our amazing supporters: After so many wonderful memories at the Old Fire Hall, the time has come for the Hamilton All Star Family to start a new chapter. We are thrilled to announce that next season we are moving to a new home. Our official home and rehearsals will be relocated to St. Andrews’ Presbyterian Church on Sulphur Springs Road in Ancaster, just around the corner. St Andrews’ boasts a newly renovated, top notch rehearsal space and offices that will accommodate our growing programs and needs. As well, future performances will be held at the luxurious Voortman Theatre at the Ancaster Memorial Arts Centre. These modern spaces will help us grow, thrive, and continue to bring live jazz to this incredible community for years to come.

We would like to thank the good people at St Andrews’ Presbyterian Church, Ancaster Village Church and the Ancaster Memorial Arts Center for their support and dedication to making this modernization initiative possible.

The move will take place during the summer of 2026 and there will be kick-off events to help us celebrate this big event. But first we are going out in style. Join us for our final concert at the Old Fire Hall on Friday, April 24th, as we send off this beloved space the only way we know how: with unforgettable music. We are so honoured to welcome Burlington native, Hamilton All Star alum, and current member of Michael Bublé's band, the incredible Josh Brown, back home on trombone. This one is going to be something truly special and we hope to see you there!
