Spectrum Music presents: Jests in Time!
No matter who we are or where we come from, we all love to laugh. For centuries, we have revelled in the humour of light-hearted jests and gags as vehicles to express our amusement and joy. But what happens when comedy takes a dark turn – when we use humour to cover up our insecurities and resentment? The Spectrum composers, guest composer Simone Baron, and 2019 New Voices Composer in Residence, Noah Franche-Nolan, contemplate the complexity of comedy.
A dangerously hilarious pre-concert monologue by an emerging Toronto comedian will open the stage for a whimsical ensemble featuring accordionist Simone Baron, the Odin Quartet, and interpretive dance by Alex Pollard.
PROGRAM:
Chelsea McBride – The Rearview Mirror
Mason Victoria – The Day When Robots Learn to Feel
Jackson Welchner – Pagliacci
Graham Campbell – Little Fellow
Tiffany Hanus – Are You Kidding?
Noah Franche-Nolan (2019 NVCR) – Trois Variations
& a piece by guest composer and performer, Simone Baron!
Door tickets – $20 general / $15 student
Advance tickets (online) – $15 general / $10 student

Two Rivers Ensemble with special guest Spiral Modes
2019-04-06 20:00 - 23:00 | Aga Khan Museum, 77 Wynford Dr., North York, Ontario, M3C 1K1, Canada
Join acclaimed trumpeter and composer Amir ElSaffar and his Two Rivers sextet to discover a transcendent space where musical boundaries dissolve. ElSaffar’s sonic tapestries meld Western jazz and Iraqi maqam to create a new sound that’s “hypnotic and utterly unique” (Time Out Chicago).
American-born ElSaffar learned Iraqi maqam, a highly sophisticated system of melodic modes in classical Arabic music, from a master of the tradition — Hamid Al-Saddi, renowned for his commanding vocals and deep knowledge of the Baghdad repertoire. Al-Saddi will join ElSaffar on stage for a powerful performance between teacher and student.
Opening the evening are special guests, Spiral Modes, a Toronto-based band led by qanun player and composer Sanaz Nakhjavani. The group formed in 2017 at the Museum following a jam session with members of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. Spiral Mode’s members originate from Iran, Syria, and Greece, and their musical explorations extend past borders into the greater Middle East and Mediterranean. Rooted in improvisation, the group creates unique experiences.
This show is part of our 2018/19 Performing Arts season, The Other Side of Fear, featuring acclaimed artists who have transcended fear through music, dance, and spoken word.

CONCERT NOTES
Etobicoke Centennial Choir’s (ECC) second concert of its 52nd season welcomes the rebirth of spring with a joyous concert of music that celebrates the wonder and diversity of creation.
We will first melt away the winter blues with Antonin Dvorak’s lyrical Mass in D Major, a beautiful choral composition with organ accompaniment that combines exquisite melodies with lush harmonic richness. Surrounded and inspired by the natural scenery he loved, Dvorak wrote this mass with a spirit of deep joy and gratitude for Creation and the gift of artistic creativity. In doing so, he gave us a glorious, enduring work that reflects his faith and humankind’s relationship with the Creator and the natural world.
The concert heats up further with ECC’s inaugural performance of the stirring Missa Gaia/Earth Mass, a unique musical experience that has been described as “an environmental liturgy of contemporary music”. The title derives from the Latin word Missa (Mass) and the Greek word Gaia (Mother Nature), acknowledging the “Gaia hypothesis” that proposes all living matter on Earth could be considered as a single living entity.
Written in 1981 by jazz saxophonist Paul Winter and four collaborators, including Canada’s Paul Halley, Missa Gaia is the result of his desire to create “a celebration that was both ecumenical and ecological, one that would embrace all the voices of the Earth”. He set out to produce a mass that would “celebrate the whole earth as a sacred place”. This was achieved by including choir, vocal soloists, a seven-piece jazz ensemble, rhythms and percussion from different cultures and the recorded voices of whales, loons, harp seals and wolves in his creation.
The four traditional movements of the mass (Kyrie, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei) are interspersed with musical genres including Brazilian folksong, folk style ballads, swinging gospel and Gregorian chant. The animal calls are sometimes used as the melody. In the Kyrie, for example, the dulcet sound of a soprano saxophone echoes the haunting four-note call of a female tundra wolf, which is then taken up by the choir with the words “Kyrie Eleison” – Greek for “Lord, have mercy”.
This rich variety of voices and styles reflects the truth that our Earth is made up of tremendous diversity. The varied musical parts come together powerfully to reflect the greater whole and speak of our interconnectedness with all of Creation.
Missa Gaia/Earth Mass is a compelling and always relevant work about reclaiming the ancient knowledge of our world as a sacred place – a place worthy of honour, preservation and protection.

Best of Big Band Open Mic
2019-04-06 19:00 | Cooksville United Church, 2500 Mimisa Row, Mississauga, Canada
The Mississauga Big Band Jazz Ensemble is putting on a very special Big Band Open Mic this year

This years’ show is a little different. We decided to pick our favorite singers from
the last 7 years and put on a “Best” of show.

Each singer has “worked out” with the band to get a little more comfortable with the concept of sharing the stage with a conductor and 17 musicians. “It’s a lot different from singing with a smaller group,” says bandleader Rob Boniface. “If a singer does something unexpected, they learn in a hurry that 17 people behind them cannot all adjust at once. But even with the learning curve, I’m really impressed with the talent of the singers who are joining us.”

The audience can expect a fun array of different vocal styles, as the open mic singers tackle everything from soulful blues to fast-driving Sinatra songs.

What: The “Best” Big Band Open Mic with the Mississauga Big Band Jazz Ensemble
When: Saturday, April 6, 2012
7:00 p.m.
Where: Cooksville United Church
2500 Mimosa Row Mississauga
Tickets: $20 per person, $10 for children and people aged 65 or older
To order, email Rob Boniface or call 905-270-4757

The John Wayne Swingtet
The John Wayne Swingtet is a group of four acoustic jazz musicians (and guest artists) who use the music of Django Reinhardt and The Hot Club of France as an inspirational starting point. From there they branch out into modern jazz, some country, a little latin and even vintage television show themes. This mixture is then brought to a boil with a generous helping of swing and a dash of humour, resulting in a musical smorgasbord which will leave you tapping your toes and smiling with satisfaction.
Bryn Roberts

Dry Powder
2019-04-04 - 2019-04-15 | Toronto Centre for the Arts, 5040 Yonge St., North York, Ontario, M2N 6R8, Canada
The same week his private equity firm forced massive layoffs at a national grocery chain, Rick Hannel threw himself an extravagant engagement party, setting off a publicity nightmare. Fortunately, Seth, one of Rick’s partners, has a dream of a deal to invest in an American-made luggage company for a song that will rescue his boss from the PR disaster. But Jenny, Rick’s other partner, has an entirely different plan: to maximize returns, no matter the consequences.
The game is on in this razor-sharp, satirical play about the price of success and the real cost of getting the deal done.

Written by Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman Directed by Richard Rose
A new play from Governor General’s Literary Award and Dora Mavor Moore Award nominee.
Seemingly separate lives dramatically come together in a dangerous climax in a women’s prison system. Guarded Girls examines how we process trauma, and asks us to look at one of Canada’s dirtiest secrets, solitary confinement.
