Join in a wild evening of traditional Quebec folk music with this extraordinary trio and their guests.
Try to imagine the freedom, spirit and wild abandon of Klezmer and Eastern European folk music, contained within the framework of highly-polished, nuanced, almost Classical chamber music-style arrangements. That's the sound of Beyond The Pale, a remarkable 5-man musical outfit that manages to combine technical precision and pure joy in their original music. Canada Live recorded them at the 2008 Ashkenaz - Toronto's bi-annual festival of Jewish culture. Beyond The Pale played to a full house in Harbourfront's Enwave Theatre. The audience was not disappointed - and you won't be either!
Michael Ondaatje, Justin Rutledge and others join Art of Time Ensemble for an evening of literature inspired by music and music inspired by literature.
Some of the country's most innovative musicians have assembled to create a beautiful odd-sorts stew of sweet frailing banjos, guitars, piano, a string section, warm harmonies, and great, great songs.
