Warren Wolf with the Sullivan Fortner Trio
Vibraphonist Warren Wolf, a familiar and much-loved presence on The Jazz Cruise through his work with SFJAZZ Collective and Christian McBride’s Inside Straight, returns to the stage with an all-star ensemble led by pianist Sullivan Fortner. Known for his dazzling technique, boundless musicality, and deep versatility, Warren brings his signature style to a dynamic performance that showcases his wide-ranging influences and contemporary vision for the vibraphone.
Joining Warren is the stellar Sullivan Fortner Trio, featuring Fortner on piano, Tyrone Allen on bass, and Kayvon Gordon on drums. Sullivan—one of the most celebrated pianists of his generation—has become a favorite of our guests for his expressive playing and profound musical depth, heard in collaborations with Cecile McLorin Salvant, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and others. Together, this ensemble promises an unforgettable evening of modern jazz interplay, stylistic exploration, and pure musical joy.

McPherson Playhouse
Located in the heart of Old Town Victoria, the McPherson Playhouse has been the home of intimate theatre in Victoria since opening in 1914 as part of the Pantages chain of theatres found across North America. Evolving from its vaudevillian roots, the McPherson hosts a variety of professional, community and amateur events throughout the year. The 772-seat theatre continues to be one of the most impeccably maintained and finest examples of theatres from its era still standing in Canada today. The McPherson Playhouse was granted a heritage designation on October 25, 1995.
