SUMMARY:All Journey – Journey Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Journey fans are everywhere and are of all ages. Whether you discovered Journey from the repeated resurgence of their massive hit “Don’t Stop Believing”\, or you fell in love with their distictive sound in high school in the 1970’s\, the appeal is infectious and undeniable.\nYou can’t pull off a convincing Journey tribute without a convincing “Steve Perry” and All Journey certainly has that covered with front man Al Langlade. Afterall\, Al has been mimicking Perry’s unmistakable vocal prowless for 30 plus years. “I get an instant rush from the audience’s reaction when I walk on stage and they see me in the classic Steve Perry tuxedo and Nikes. It’s like they are wowed by the resemblance but the real appreciation comes immediately after the opening vocal line of Separate Ways is put out there”\, says Langlade.\nEach member of All Journey is a journeymen musician (pardon the pun) and performer. They have put in the many hours it takes to recreate the album versions of each song in the set list note for note.All Journey is masterful at drawing large crowds from a wide age demographic to your event.

SUMMARY:Joshua Bell & Alexander Shelley
DESCRIPTION:In The Elements\, Grammy Award–winning violinist Joshua Bell pays tribute to the four classical elements—Earth\, Fire\, Water\, and Air—and Space\, considered a fifth element in many cultures. Bell commissioned five leading American composers to contribute to a collective work that celebrates nature in all its beauty and majesty\, drawing inspiration from Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Gustav Holst’s The Planets. \nAnd two pairs of star-crossed lovers bring passion and romance to the Southam Hall stage. Richard Wagner’s Prelude and Liebestod (Love-Death) from his opera Tristan und Isolde evokes the tragic love affair between a Cornish knight and an Irish princess\, while the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story showcase the fiery rhythms of Leonard Bernstein’s beloved Broadway score—a tale of young love\, racial prejudice\, and gang violence set on the streets of 1950s New York City. \nThis concert is made possible in part through the generous support of the Friends of the NAC Orchestra’s Kilpatrick Fund.

SUMMARY:Diana Krall
DESCRIPTION:Diana Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date\, her albums have garnered two Grammy® Awards\, ten Juno® Awards and have also earned nine gold\, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums. Krall’s unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable artists of our time.  As The New York Times recently noted\, Krall possesses “A voice at once cool and sultry\, wielded with a rhythmic sophistication.” \nHer most recent release\, This Dream Of You\, has garnered critical acclaim from fans and press alike. This album is a loving conclusion of Diana’s 25-year working relationship with Tommy LiPuma. Shortly before LiPuma’s passing\, the producer and artist discussed the abundance of great music recorded at their last sessions together. LiPuma was adamant that this music should be completed and issued. Krall and engineer\, Al Schmitt\, therefore mixed and sequenced the album for the 2020 release and\, as such\, honoured their great and much-missed friend.  From this release came the worldwide premiere of Autumn In New York\, a cinematic ode to the city\, directed by Diana’s long-time collaborator and friend Mark Seliger\, offering a visual complement to Krall’s loving and hopeful performance of the song. \nDiana Krall’s recordings have been included in several film soundtracks and she has expanded upon her role as a performer to include songwriting\, producing and arranging and has brought her talents to collaborate with many other artists including Paul McCartney\, Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett.  She tours extensively around the globe to sold-out audiences\, appearing at premiere jazz festivals and concert halls throughout North America\, Europe\, Asia and Australia.

SUMMARY:Diana Krall
DESCRIPTION:Diana Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date\, her albums have garnered two Grammy® Awards\, ten Juno® Awards and have also earned nine gold\, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums. Krall’s unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable artists of our time.  As The New York Times recently noted\, Krall possesses “A voice at once cool and sultry\, wielded with a rhythmic sophistication.” \nHer most recent release\, This Dream Of You\, has garnered critical acclaim from fans and press alike. This album is a loving conclusion of Diana’s 25-year working relationship with Tommy LiPuma. Shortly before LiPuma’s passing\, the producer and artist discussed the abundance of great music recorded at their last sessions together. LiPuma was adamant that this music should be completed and issued. Krall and engineer\, Al Schmitt\, therefore mixed and sequenced the album for the 2020 release and\, as such\, honoured their great and much-missed friend.  From this release came the worldwide premiere of Autumn In New York\, a cinematic ode to the city\, directed by Diana’s long-time collaborator and friend Mark Seliger\, offering a visual complement to Krall’s loving and hopeful performance of the song. \nDiana Krall’s recordings have been included in several film soundtracks and she has expanded upon her role as a performer to include songwriting\, producing and arranging and has brought her talents to collaborate with many other artists including Paul McCartney\, Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett.  She tours extensively around the globe to sold-out audiences\, appearing at premiere jazz festivals and concert halls throughout North America\, Europe\, Asia and Australia.

SUMMARY:The Ottawa Pops Orchestra Presents: Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final Fantasy VII
DESCRIPTION:The Ottawa Pops Orchestra Presents: Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final\nFantasy VII\, Live featuring a full symphonic orchestra and choir\nOttawa\, ON – April 13 2026 – The Ottawa Pops Orchestra presents Materia Symphony:\nInspired by Final Fantasy VII\, April 17 and 18 at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers\nCentre. The program features a full symphony orchestra and choir in a concert based\non the music of Final Fantasy VII.\nOriginally premiered in Montreal by l’Orchestre de jeux vidéo\, Materia Symphony comes\nto Ottawa in an expanded form\, specially adapted and re-orchestrated for the Ottawa\nPops Orchestra. The work is based on the score by Nobuo Uematsu and arranged by\nMontreal composer Alexandre Choinière as a four-movement symphonic structure\nreflecting the narrative of the game.\n“At the Ottawa Pops Orchestra\, we believe that great music can transcend its original\ncontext\,” says Artistic and Executive Director Mathieu Roy. “This program is designed to\nstand on its own as a concert experience\, whether or not you are familiar with the\ngame.”\nFor conductor Jonathan Dagenais\, the music of Final Fantasy VII has had a lasting\ninfluence on his musical development:\n"Final Fantasy VII has been a defining revelation in my life. As a young musician\, I was\ncaptivated by its complex storytelling\, but it was Nobuo Uematsu’s expressive and\ngrand score that truly transformed me. Far from being mere background music\,\nUematsu’s work acts as a hidden narrator\, masterfully shaping the game’s atmosphere.\nMuch like John Williams\, he utilizes leitmotifs to breathe life into characters and pivotal\nevents\, moving seamlessly from moments of fragile intimacy to sweeping\, epic\ngrandeur. This soundtrack is a primary reason why I chose a professional career in\nmusic.\nDivided into four distinct movements covering the entire saga\, the Materia Symphony is\ndesigned to let you relive this extraordinary odyssey through the full power of the\norchestra. It is an experience that promises to be truly spine-tingling."\nThe arrangement expands the original material for full orchestra and choir\, incorporating\nadditional orchestral textures and choral writing. Latin text\, adapted from elements of\nthe game’s narrative\, is integrated into the score. Choral preparation is led by Deirdre\nKellerman. \nThe concert is intended for a broad audience\, whether you are a lifelong fan of the\ngame or discovering this music for the first time. No prior knowledge is required.\nAudiences are encouraged to come as they are and immerse themselves in a live\nperformance. Costumes are encouraged.\nShowtimes\nFriday\, April 17\, 2026 – 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026 – 2:00 PM\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026 – 7:00 PM\nAll performances take place at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre\, 290 Lisgar\nStreet\, Ottawa\, ON\nTickets for Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final Fantasy VII are available through the\nOttawa Pops Orchestra website and through Eventbrite. Accessible pricing for those\nunder 30 is available.

DESCRIPTION:The Ottawa Pops Orchestra Presents: Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final\nFantasy VII\, Live featuring a full symphonic orchestra and choir\nOttawa\, ON – April 13 2026 – The Ottawa Pops Orchestra presents Materia Symphony:\nInspired by Final Fantasy VII\, April 17 and 18 at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers\nCentre. The program features a full symphony orchestra and choir in a concert based\non the music of Final Fantasy VII.\nOriginally premiered in Montreal by l’Orchestre de jeux vidéo\, Materia Symphony comes\nto Ottawa in an expanded form\, specially adapted and re-orchestrated for the Ottawa\nPops Orchestra. The work is based on the score by Nobuo Uematsu and arranged by\nMontreal composer Alexandre Choinière as a four-movement symphonic structure\nreflecting the narrative of the game.\n“At the Ottawa Pops Orchestra\, we believe that great music can transcend its original\ncontext\,” says Artistic and Executive Director Mathieu Roy. “This program is designed to\nstand on its own as a concert experience\, whether or not you are familiar with the\ngame.”\nFor conductor Jonathan Dagenais\, the music of Final Fantasy VII has had a lasting\ninfluence on his musical development:\n"Final Fantasy VII has been a defining revelation in my life. As a young musician\, I was\ncaptivated by its complex storytelling\, but it was Nobuo Uematsu’s expressive and\ngrand score that truly transformed me. Far from being mere background music\,\nUematsu’s work acts as a hidden narrator\, masterfully shaping the game’s atmosphere.\nMuch like John Williams\, he utilizes leitmotifs to breathe life into characters and pivotal\nevents\, moving seamlessly from moments of fragile intimacy to sweeping\, epic\ngrandeur. This soundtrack is a primary reason why I chose a professional career in\nmusic.\nDivided into four distinct movements covering the entire saga\, the Materia Symphony is\ndesigned to let you relive this extraordinary odyssey through the full power of the\norchestra. It is an experience that promises to be truly spine-tingling."\nThe arrangement expands the original material for full orchestra and choir\, incorporating\nadditional orchestral textures and choral writing. Latin text\, adapted from elements of\nthe game’s narrative\, is integrated into the score. Choral preparation is led by Deirdre\nKellerman. \nThe concert is intended for a broad audience\, whether you are a lifelong fan of the\ngame or discovering this music for the first time. No prior knowledge is required.\nAudiences are encouraged to come as they are and immerse themselves in a live\nperformance. Costumes are encouraged.\nShowtimes\nFriday\, April 17\, 2026 – 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026 – 2:00 PM\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026 – 7:00 PM\nAll performances take place at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre\, 290 Lisgar\nStreet\, Ottawa\, ON\nTickets for Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final Fantasy VII are available through the\nOttawa Pops Orchestra website and through Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:HYL: "Song Rapper"
DESCRIPTION:HYL’s music falls somewhere between song and colourful electro-pop rap. His lyrics shape melodies reminiscent of Orelsan\, Gaël Faye\, or the infectious energy of Thérapie TAXI\, striking a balance between carefree and aware. \nIn 2024\, he released a second EP that reflects the influences that inspire his art. Produced at the La Tanière studio (Bigflo & Oli\, among others)\, this new\, assured vision transports us into stories and emotions we all seem to have experienced before. HYL will be at the NAC for one night only. A must-see!
