This concert will be held at the Lighthouse Bistro & Pub on Nanaimo's breathtaking waterfront where Villette and his colleague, Kosma Busheikin, present their monthly jazz concert series. For this special occasion Villette has curated a unique evening of music set to captivate, excite and wow the audience.
