In the last of the Artist Features this season, Joel MacKenzie talks to New Westminster’s jazz vocalist and arranger Will Clements about arranging vs composing, being present, and the benefit of anxiety. Will Clements and Alvin Brendan perform Gershwin’s “But Not For Me”.

Since 2015, the Music by the River Festival has taken place on Thursday evenings in Westminster Pier Park. However, due to COVID-19 Pandemic and the need for social-distancing, it is presented this year as a podcast series.
The season 2 ArtsNW podcast is produced by the Arts Council of New Westminster, and brought to you by the Government of Canada, Province of BC, the BC Arts Council, and the City of New Westminster. The theme music for this season is composed by Benjamin Millman.
