SUMMARY:Makoto Ozone Plays Rachmaninoff
DESCRIPTION:After the sudden death of the young artist Viktor Hartmann\, his close friend Modeste Mussorgsky translated 10 of his paintings into a piano suite of wide-ranging emotion: Pictures at an Exhibition. Experience this gallery-hopping work in an arrangement for full orchestra by Maurice Ravel—whose vivid\, colourful orchestrations illuminate Hartmann’s scenes of medieval castles\, bustling open-air markets\, and the moonlit flight of the Slavic witch Baba Yaga. \nSergei Rachmaninoff’s ravishing Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini pays homage to Niccolò Paganini—the 19th-century Italian violinist who was so talented\, audiences believed he had sold his soul to the devil. Brace yourself for demonic dances and romantic serenades in this wild roller coaster ride for solo piano and orchestra when the “thrilling\, virtuosic” (The New York Times) pianist Makoto Ozone makes his Southam Hall debut. \nAnd opening the program is Alissa Firsova’s Die Windsbraut (The Bride of the Wind)\, a stormy orchestral poem that conjures the passionate love affair between artist Oskar Kokoschka and composer Alma Mahler.

SUMMARY:David Suzuki’s Playlist: w/ NAC Orchestra\, in association with Why Not Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Featuring a playlist curated and hosted live by David Suzuki\, this special NAC Orchestra concert brings music and meaning together in a powerful new way. \nNow 90 years old\, David Suzuki is one of Canada’s most respected public intellectuals and environmental activists\, and has spent decades helping people rethink their relationship with nature\, science\, and the future of our planet. For this event\, he steps into the role of musical curator\, sharing a personal selection of works that have inspired his thinking\, his activism\, and his sense of wonder. \nPerformed by the National Arts Centre Orchestra\, the program traces an emotional and sonic journey through music connected to landscape\, fragility\, awe\, and renewal. With Suzuki guiding the audience throughout the evening\, each piece becomes part of a larger story about listening more closely\, seeing more clearly\, and reconnecting with the natural world around us. \nA rare chance to experience a live orchestral event shaped by one of Canada’s most influential voices\, and to hear how music and nature resonate together on the same stage.

SUMMARY:MÁM Teaċ Daṁsa │Michael Keegan-Dolan
DESCRIPTION:The works of Irish choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan are defined by feeling and collective connection. His exceptional dance-theatre productions skillfully integrate pathos and humour\, and draw on themes of love and identity. \nBringing together virtuoso Irish traditional concertina player Cormac Begley\, contemporary music collective s t a r g a z e\, and an ensemble of twelve dancers from Teaċ Daṁsa\, MÁM overflows with circular energy. At a gathering where music casts a spell\, dancers swirl\, swoon and surrender in an atmosphere charged with spirit of myth and mythology. \nMÁM is steeped in the landscape and culture of Ireland’s West Kerry. The title reflects a meeting place\, one where audience and performers share a deep engagement with their imagination.

SUMMARY:MÁM Teaċ Daṁsa │Michael Keegan-Dolan
DESCRIPTION:The works of Irish choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan are defined by feeling and collective connection.

SUMMARY:Classic Albums Live: Billy Joel
DESCRIPTION:The Stranger is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel\, released on September 29\, 1977\, by Columbia Records. It was the first of Joel’s albums to be produced by Phil Ramone\, with whom he would work for five subsequent albums. \nJoel’s previous album\, Turnstiles (1976)\, had sold modestly\, and peaked at only #122 on the US Billboard 200 charts\, prompting Columbia to consider dropping him if his next release sold poorly. Joel wanted the new album to feature his touring band\, formed during the production of Turnstiles. The band consisted of drummer Liberty DeVitto\, bassist Doug Stegmeyer\, and multi-instrumentalist Richie Cannata\, who played the saxophone and organ. Spending six weeks at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart\, The Stranger was Joel’s critical and commercial breakthrough.

SUMMARY:Beethoven\, Britten\, Bruch & Kerson Leong
DESCRIPTION:Composed at the height of the Romantic era\, Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 is celebrated for its soaring melodies\, rich orchestration\, and deep emotional resonance. From its rhapsodic opening to its fiery and virtuosic finale\, the piece unfolds as a powerful dialogue between soloist and orchestra. Don’t miss your chance to hear Ottawa native Kerson Leong bring his “spontaneity and mastery\, elegance and fantasy” (Le Monde) to this iconic work. \nBookending the evening are two symphonies teeming with the charm and elegance of the Classical era. Beethoven’s First Symphony shows the German composer breaking the boundaries of rhythm\, harmony\, and humour at the end of the 18th century\, while Britten’s Simple Symphony makes the heart race with four playful dances composed in the style of Beethoven and Mozart.

SUMMARY:The Black Keys
DESCRIPTION:The story of Ohio Players—The Black Keys ’twelfth studio album and a record unlike any other in their long ride through deep blues and soul power—begins on a Saturday in February 2003. Singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney were on the road supporting their debut album\, 2002’s The Big Come Up\, opening for Sleater-Kinney at New York’s Roseland Ballroom\, when the headliners invited them to a party after the gig: the traditional bash following the broadcast of Saturday Night Live with the TV show’s cast and guests.\n“This is insane—of course\, we want to go\,” Carney recalls. “We said ‘How are you getting in?‘ ’Our friend Beck played tonight.’”\nAuerbach and Carney were school friends in Akron\, Ohio\, not yet a band\, when Beck’s 1993 single “Loser” —a landmark fusion of Delta blues\, hip-hop churn\, and post-punk lyricism—hit them like a bomb. “His aesthetic was\nincredible\,” Auerbach says today. “He wore his influences on his sleeve\, and we learned from that. There was someone showing us a way to go.”

SUMMARY:Ray Chen in recital
DESCRIPTION:Violinist Ray Chen first gained international attention after winning the Queen Elisabeth Competition and has since built one of the largest digital audiences of any classical soloist. His recitals often combine core repertoire with showpieces and newer works. He is known for directly addressing audiences and reshaping the traditional recital format. This program focuses on contrast\, character\, and violin-driven repertoire. A recital format designed to feel immediate and close-up. \nA few things to know … \n\nViolinist Ray Chen—called “the epitome of cool” by the Sydney Morning Herald— returns to Southam Hall to calm the mind and stir the soul with a program spanning 200 years.\nEven if you’ve never seen him perform\, Chen may look familiar: He’s appeared in the hit series Mozart in the Jungle\, modelled for Giorgio Armani\, and was profiled in Vogue.\n\nWhether he’s performing on the world’s biggest stages or sharing the magic of classical music with two million fans online\, violinist Ray Chen is on a mission to connect people to inspiration\, beauty\, and moments of musical bliss. “The joy that’s inherent in music is meant to be shared\,” he wrote\, “and I want others to find this joy and motivation.” \nDon’t miss your chance to experience one of Chen’s enchanting performances when the Taiwanese Australian violinist returns to Southam Hall for a time-travelling recital exploring nearly 200 years of music. Works by Bach and Mozart bring the dance floor to the concert hall with rhythms of electrifying energy\, while Grieg’s final composition for violin and piano spins captivating melodies of romantic intensity. \nAnd a pair of showstoppers by the 19th-century Spanish virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate showcases the full range of the violin’s voice. Playera\, based on an Andalucian folk song\, bristles with the heat of flamenco\, while the sensuous Carmen Fantasy journeys through moments of operatic lyricism and primal passion—the perfect showcase for Chen’s dazzling virtuosity.
