MONTREAL, April 26,
2016 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group returns as presenting
sponsor of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal
for the seventh consecutive year and launches new initiatives to
promote an appreciation of jazz among visitors and Montrealers
alike. Sylvie Demers, Chair, Quebec
Market, TD Bank Group, joined the Festival's Organizing Committee
today to unveil the details of TD's participation in 2016.
"Since first partnering with the FIJM, we
have constantly looked for ways to enhance the festival-goer's
experience with initiatives that add to the enjoyment of attending
the Festival and listening to talented musicians," says Demers.
"The entire TD team in Quebec is
extremely proud to be part of an event that is so iconic of
Montreal summers."
Added onsite comfort
Among the new
perks TD is offering at the Festival are the three TD Comfort Zones
spread out across the festival grounds. With a seating capacity of
200, they give visitors the chance to take a break and enjoy
refreshments between shows. What's more, a 160-seat riser, called
the TD Bleachers will provide festival goers with a place to sit
and enjoy shows on the TD stage. Last but not least, kiosks
throughout the site will be equipped with 50 TD Point of Sale (POS)
devices providing additional credit and debit payment options for
attendees.
The TD Jazz Tour
TD is launching the
TD Jazz Tour this spring to get residents of the Greater Montreal Area interested in jazz by
bringing the spirit of the Festival to them. This spring and fall,
jazz quartets will perform 88 thirty-minute pieces at four shopping
centres: Galeries d'Anjou,
Fairview Pointe-Claire, Promenades
Saint-Bruno and Carrefour Laval.
TD will also continue to support the TD Blues
Camp, a unique day camp for aspiring musicians between the ages of
13 and 17. From July 3 to 9, 2016,
teens attending the camp will prepare a concert to be performed on
the TD stage at the close of the Festival.
