SUMMARY:Ten Thousand Hours
DESCRIPTION:$60 Adult | $25 Youth \nEverybody is a master of something. \nBlink\, step\, jump\, balance\, flip\, fly. \nThis is an ode to the countless hours needed to achieve great things. \nA tribute to the dedication required to realise our physical ambitions. \nAn acknowledgement of the backstory that is often more spectacular than the finished product. \nEight world class acrobats investigate physical skill; how we obtain it\, how we perfect\nit\, and how it can transform our lives. Through highlighting the nuance of high-level\nacrobatics\, audiences experience a heightened appreciation of the countless hours\nrequired to master the skills they are witnessing. \nThis is a love letter to our bodies and the amazing things they let us do every day. \nThis is an invitation to watch us work.

SUMMARY:MRS. WARREN’S PROFESSION
DESCRIPTION:Mrs. Warren’s Profession\nDirected by Dominic Cooke | Written by Bernard Shaw | Starring Imelda Staunton and Bessie Carter\nNovember 4\, 2025 | BMO Studio Theatre | 7:30 PM \n$25 / $20 for subscribers \nFive-time Olivier Award-winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time\, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic. \nVivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time.

SUMMARY:Tamar Ilana + Ventanas
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2011\, Ventanas interweaves flamenco\, Sephardic and Balkan music and dance\, and their own original compositions. They have released three albums (2013\, 2015\, 2019) and have toured extensively throughout North America\, including a sold-out show at the Skirball Centre in Los Angeles in 2019. They have been nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards\, including Best Traditional Singer and Best Ensemble.

They perform in over 20 languages such as Ladino\, Spanish\, Bulgarian\, Macedonian\, Hebrew\, French\, Romani and Arabic\, drawing inspiration from today’s worldwide themes of migration and the questioning of one’s identity. \nTamar’s childhood was spent gathering songs from small villages on the edge of the Mediterranean and dancing flamenco\, and Ventanas’ band members are from across the globe. Together\, and in true Canadian fashion\, they intertwine their musical cultures to create an all-encompassing world of their own in which they lead audiences down the less traveled paths of the Mediterranean\, mixing in contemporary interpretations of ancient ballads\, original compositions and new choreographies\, inviting audiences of all backgrounds into their lives and music. \nThroughout the pandemic\, Ventanas served as the house band for the new performing arts organization\, FabCollab and the Women in Song series\, collaborating with primarily BIPOC world class women artists such as Tara Moneka (Iraq)\, Eliana Cuevas (Venezuela)\, OKAN (Cuba)\, Aline Morales (Brazil)\, Maryem Tollar (Egypt)\, Kaeja d’Dance (Canada)\, Dimitra Kahrimanidis (Greece)\, Nastasia Y (Ukraine) and others\, in iconic Toronto venues such as Koerner Hall\, the Aga Khan Museum and Lula Lounge.

Of Jewish-Indigenous-Romanian-Scottish descent\, Tamar sings in 20 languages and is most influenced by the Sephardic and Flamenco traditions. \nTamar’s music and fierce talent reflect her personal and cultural history growing up in multicultural Toronto; accompanying her ethnomusicologist mother\, Dr. Judith Cohen\, on village fieldwork expeditions and on stage as a child; and living in Ibiza\, Barcelona\, Paris and Seville as a teen and young adult. Drawing on these experiences\, Tamar founded her world music project\, Ventanas\, in 2011 with whom she has released three albums and been nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards including Best Traditional Singer. Tamar has collaborated with such renowned artists as Jesse Cook\, Briga\, Eliana Cuevas\, Lenka Lichtenberg\, Jaffa Road\, Sultans of String\, the Lemon Bucket Orkestra\, and Tara Moneka.

SUMMARY:Duane Andrews and the Hot Club of Conception Bay featuring Ray Legere
DESCRIPTION:DUANE ANDREWS‘ music is the product of a great ear\, an adventurous spirit and a love of music that is beyond category. Uniting what would seem to be impossible – traditional Newfoundland music with the swing jazz of the legendary Django Reinhardt\, Andrews makes it not just work – he makes it soar. The Juno award winning producer\, composer\, guitarist and globetrotting performer’s latest album is the best evidence yet of his truly unique musical vision and is the sound of him\, literally\, bringing it all back home. \nA native of the island of Newfoundland\, off the east coast of Canada\, Duane grew up exposed to the island’s mélange of cultural influences and his development as a guitarist reflects that. After graduating from the Jazz Studies program at St. FXU with honours\, Duane spent several years studying contemporary music composition at the Conservatoire International de Paris and at the Conservatoire National de Region in Marseille\, France. \nHis discography starts with the release of his debut solo CD\, simply titled\, Duane Andrews (2004)\, which led to the multiple award winning Crocus (2006)\, then Raindrops (2008)\, which features a collaboration with the Atlantic String Quartet and two albums with Cape Breton master fiddler Dwayne Côté\, Dwayne Côté and Duane Andrews (2010) and The Empress (2012). \nOther notable collaborations include Charlie’s Boogie (2013) with bluegrass guitarist/singer/songwriter extraordinaire Craig Young which evolved into Fretboard Journey (2016) with the addition of fellow Newfoundland guitarists Sandy Morris and Gordon Quinton. Playing regular Sunday sessions in Quidi Vidi\, NL with accordionist Aaron Collis resulted in The Mallard Cottage Sessions (2015) and his most recent collaboration\, the Juno award winning More Sheep\, Less Sleep (2015) from The Swinging Belles with children’s educators Erin Power and Laura Winter\, can be found at www.theswingingbelles.ca. \n—————————————————————————————- \nPRESS \n“the music might be best described as Folk music played by a top Jazz guitarist and the result is refreshing and stunning. Highly recommended.”\nFolkworld Magazine\, Germany \n“…startlingly good…”\nNOW Magazine\, Toronto \n“…it was the group’s infectious versions of well-known Reinhardt tunes that drew the biggest applause. But it was the group’s bubbling stew of styles on Newfoundland classics that still echoed after the last notes faded.”\nThe Ottawa Citizen\, Ottawa \n——————————————————————————————————————\nAWARDS\nNewfoundland and Labrador Arts Council\n2017 Artist of the Year Award\n2006 Emerging Artist of the Year Award \nAtlantic Film Festival\n2018 Best Original Score (An Audience Of Chairs)\n2009 Best Original Score (Crackie) \nBritish Documentary Film Festival\n2017 Best Music (Meet Maurice Crosby) \nThe Nickel Film Festival\n2016 Best Original Score (for Terra Nova Matadora) \nJuno\n2016 Children’s Album of the Year Award (with The Swinging Belles) \nMusicNL\n2018 Fans Choice Award (with The Swinging Belles)\n2017 Instrumental Album Award (with Fretboard Journey)\n2016 Male Artist and Jazz/Blues Album Awards\n2015 Traditional Album Award (with Aaron Collis)\n2014 Instrumental Album Award (with Craig Young)\n2012 Jazz Album of the Year Award (with Dwayne Côté)\n2010 Instrumental Album Award (with Dwayne Côté)\n2008 Male Artist\, Album\, SOCAN Songwriter\, Jazz Album of the Year Awards\n2006 Jazz/Blues Artist of the Year Award\n2004 Jazz/Blues Artist of the Year Award\, Rising Star Nominee \nIndependent Music Awards\n2014 Jazz Single Nominee\n2011 Instrumental Album Award (with Dwayne Cote)\n2008 Jazz Single and Album Nominee\n2006 Jazz Album Award \nECMA\n2017 Traditional Instrumental Recording of the Year Award (with Fretboard Journey)\n2016 Roots/Traditional Group of the Year Award Nominee (with Aaron Collis)\n2014 Traditional Instrumental Recording of the Year Award (with Craig Young)\n2012 Roots/Traditional Group of the Year Award Nominee (with Dwayne Côté)\n2011 Instrumental and Jazz Album of the Year Award (with Dwayne Côté)\n2010 Album and Producer of the Year Nominee\n2009 Instrumental Album of the Year Award\, Male Artist Nominee\n2007 Jazz Album of the Year Award\n2006 Instrumental Album of the Year Award\, Male Artist Nominee\n2005 Jazz Album of the Year Award\, Emerging Artist Nominee \nCanadian Folk Music Awards\n2016 Instrumental Artist Award\n2015 Children’s Album Award (with The Swinging Belles)\n2007 Best World Artist (Solo) Nominee\n2005 Best Instrumental Artist (Solo) Nominee\, Best World Artist (Solo) Nominee\, Pushing the Boundries Nominee
