Event type: Performance

Rosina Kazi and Nicholas Murray are LAL, the Toronto-based protest electronic duo that has built a career out of daring audiences to be their best selves, loudly.

Coming from the worlds of hip hop, punk, electronic and experimental music, LAL blends those influences into the smoothest, richest shake that will enliven the mind, body and soul. Their beats and melodies can charm the most cynical club head, softening them up so that the lyrics of anger, sadness and possibility can worm their way deep inside.

They celebrate their 25th year, as a duo with a new album and short film called SPECTACULAR. The show is a beautiful intimate and cathartic performance with projection images from the film that was filmed across Canada with Jose Garcia (projections) and lighting and show design by Yann Gracia. With guest musicians, Ian de Souza and Vee Kee.

Karaoke is our community in song, our channel of catharsis. I’ve seen versions of AQUA and Tina Turner that are burned into my memory. Karaoke is the forgery, the dupe, the knockoff raised to the status of a new original fuelled by the enthusiasm of the amateur. Come sing with us at Union Gallery in a warm and welcoming space of resonant expression. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but even better is your will to mark the song with the distinctiveness of your spirit.

———————————————————–

Sans le tambour qui bat, les mots n’existent pas.
Delphine est une jeune fille Wolastoqey rêveuse et déterminée. Depuis que son père a égaré le tambour de son défunt muhsums, Delphine s’est mis en tête de le retrouver coûte que coûte. Par une journée d’automne, alors que le vent se lève, Delphine est transportée dans le monde des esprits de la forêt. Elle y fera la rencontre du porc-épic espiègle, de la chouette chanteuse d’opéra, et du Kiwahq, la terrible bête au cœur de glace ! Réussira-t-elle à surmonter les défis de la forêt pour retrouver son tambour ? Avec sa pièce TOQAQ MECIMI PUWIHT / Delphine rêve toujours, l’auteur Wolastoqey Dave Jenniss aborde les thèmes de la transmission et de l’identité et fait résonner la langue de ses ancêtres qu’il se réapproprie.

Without the beating drum, words don’t exist.
Delphine is a dreamy, determined Wolastoqey girl. Ever since her father mislaid his late muhsums’ drum, Delphine has been determined to find it, whatever the cost. One autumn day, as the wind picks up, Delphine is transported to the world of forest spirits. There she meets the mischievous porcupine, the opera-singing owl, and Kiwahq, the terrible beast with a heart of ice! Will she overcome the challenges of the forest to find her drum? With his play TOQAQ MECIMI PUWIHT / Delphine rêve toujours, Wolastoqey playwright Dave Jenniss tackles the themes of transmission and identity, and reappropriates the language of his ancestors. This bilingual show in French and Wolastoqey is performed by indigenous and non-indigenous artists.

The Kingston Symphony’s 2024-2025 season starts on Sunday, September 29, 2024 with a Masterworks concert titled The Golden Age of Hollywood. With music from Casablanca, Robin Hood, Sunset Boulevard, Singin’ in the Rain, and more, it’s the perfect time machine to transport yourself to the glamorous world of show biz as it existed in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. During the middle of the 20th century, the very best musicians in the world were part of the MGM and Warner Bros. orchestras. The gifted compositional minds of the romantic symphonic era all turned their attention to scoring the iconic films which would come to define Hollywood. This concert salutes these true masters who created some of the greatest music of the era with extraordinary colour, flair, and sweep.

John Passions, to mention only a few.
