Events Description

 
Join for the first annual GuitarFest.

Wednesday Chamber Music – Brad Mahon
Brad Mahon has been described as “an outstanding classical guitarist” (20th Century Guitar, New York) and “a very accomplished performer” (CBC Radio, Canada), while his concert performances have been reviewed as “a delightful musical night and great spectacle for the audience” (Baiao Noticia, Portugal).
His diverse recording portfolio includes the solo efforts, Six Strings (2005) and Classic Melodies (2006), as well as releases with the Oberon Guitar Trio: Music of Our Time (2010) and the forthcoming, Music of the Earth (2022).


Thursday Songwriting Circle – Aaron Young, Sheldon Valleau and Brett Spaulding

By the time Aaron Young was just 23 years old, he had already produced, arranged and performed on over 15 albums. It was clear that music wasn’t going to be in his future, it was going to be his future.

Tim Williams feat. Kevin Belzner

Tim Williams (guitars, mandolins, vocals) and Kevin Belzner (stand-up cocktail drum kit) have been making music together for more than two decades, since meeting while both were working with legendary Calgary Blues Man, Back Alley John. Although they both play in many other formats, the duo adds a super-charged quality to down-home blues and Tim’s in-the-pocket original tunes.


RISE UP Presents: Ben Lahring and Ralph Maier

Wine and dine to an evening of fine music presented by Ben Lahring and Ralph Maier. The unique instrumental programme will span the centuries, with compositions played on a modern Canadian double-top guitar and period instruments such as the lute, vihuela and theorbo.
