    The Benefit Concert Series     brings together local musicians, 
    local food, and drink all in support of local charities. 

    Wednesday May 20th is the last event of the series’ first
    season,featuring     François Jalbert on guitar and
    Charles Trudel     on piano. These two young Quebecois
    musicians have done a lot of musical exploration in their
    young life. They are both classically trained and have
    ventured since into a vast array of musical expression, from
    gypsy to pop; punk to jazz…they’ve done it all. Theirs is a
    contemporary sound that blends jazz, popular music, and
    world sensibilities into a style and compositional world
    all their own. Their repertoire combines strong melodies,
    rhythmic and harmonic complexity, creating a world that is
    both accessible and surprising.

    The Benefit Concert Series

    ombú productions presents

    The theme of this concert series is local, local, local…local musicians, local food and drink, all in support of worthy local causes.

    Coming up February 4th is the second concert in this series featuring Seán Dagher and The Paddingtons. Doors open at 7:00 PM with music starting at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $50.00 per person and will qualify as a tax creditable donation. Wine and cheese, plus other delectables will be served.

    The Paddingtons have been performing Celtic and Maritime folk music since 1995 for local audiences in pubs and restaurants, concert halls and festival stages. Their repertoire is a combination of  “… festive songs played festively, love songs played romantically, and drinking songs played drunkenly…” – a real treat not to be missed!

    Thanks to our sponsors, all proceeds from the evening’s event will go to support Project Genesis, a local community outreach organization founded in 1977. Located in a storefront on Victoria Avenue in Côte-des-Neiges, the organization’s goal is to improve the situation of people living in poverty by helping local residents better understand and defend their rights, and by providing a space where people can work together on issues of local importance.

    Come join us Wednesday, February 4th! Tickets are $50 per person.

  • Ann Southam’s Fast River #2: Christina Petrowska Quilico Live Piano Performance

    I was driving to a meeting the other day and heard this piece on CBC’s “Shift” with Tom Allen. I had to stop and listen to this amazing performance. This piece was in the back of my mind throughout my entire meeting. By the time arrived home, I immediately googled Ann Southam and found this video. Enjoy.
