An evening of Canadian vocal jazz treasure, Karin Plato, and Guido Heistek, renowned Vancouver ukulele maestro, perform their duo arrangements of songs from the jazz, pop, blues and folk repertoire.

Heistek has performed in the US, Japan, Canada and Europe, and is the creator of Ukulele in the Dark, a website with an international following of thousands. His CD, Solo Ukulele, was described as “unrelentingly lovely” by Mike Usinger of The Georgia Straight.

Plato has toured Canada extensively and has recorded a highly acclaimed catalogue of albums featuring jazz standards as well as originals. She is a Juno nominee and has three times been nominated Canadian Jazz Vocalist of the Year at the National Jazz Awards.

“Plato’s confident, tuneful and hip articulation stands out as she weaves a musical spell.” Edmonton Journal

“Heistek and Plato radiate a rare chemistry and charm which has garnered them a loyal Vancouver following. The baritone and concert ukes intertwine to create a delicate yet utterly satisfying support for two voices that complement each other so very well. You may find yourself smiling or laughing at this duo’s mercurial banter, or swept away by their irresistible groove, and vocal harmonies. “
