Tyler Kealey - Go If You Think You Can Make It
2025-10-12 19:00 - 23:00 | Overflow Brewing Company, 2477 Kaladar Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
“Go If You Think You Can Make It” is a documentary film inspired by Singer-Songwriter Tyler Kealey’s heartfelt song “Baseball Diamond” and the annual baseball tournament in Venosta, Quebec that gave rise to it. The film explores the rich history of Venosta, the heritage of the families who call it home, and the enduring tradition that has brought this small community together for nearly 30 years. Through intimate interviews with tournament participants, archival family photos, and rare video footage, the documentary captures the timeless spirit of community, music, and connection.

To bring this deeply personal story to life, Tyler partnered with long-time friend, music producer, and filmmaker Eric Eggleston of Eggleston Entertainment—a full-service recording and film company specializing in music documentaries, videos, and production. Known for creating unique and authentic content, Eggleston Entertainment ensures that each story told stays true to its roots and its audience.

Do you have a surplus of knowledge nuggets from years of playing through various video game sagas?
Is your mind palace filled with what some might (wrongly) deem “inconsequential” details about your favourite television shows and movies?
In social situations, do you find yourself holding back from inundating those around you with facts and tidbits about the movie they’re discussing? Or worse – not holding back?
We can help! Join us for Geek Trivia on Monday nights where your nerdy expertise will be not only appreciated, but celebrated!
Each week, Trivia Master Alex sets aside a portion of the evening to focus on a different geeky theme (you can check out upcoming themes on our website). And if a particular week’s theme isn’t your speciality, don’t worry! There will still be a lot of randomized trivial geekiness to enjoy! The exception to this is the last Monday of every month, when all the questions will be on a particular theme. The theme for July 28: The Office!
Book a table for your team at levelonegamepub.com/reservations – be sure to put “Trivia” in the details section. Walk-ins are also welcome.
Cost: $3 with purchase / person

Dvořák's New World Symphony
2025-10-15 20:00 - 22:00, 2025-10-16 20:00 - 22:00 | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
Three things to know:

Xian Zhang, the Seattle Symphony’s first female Music Director, returns to Ottawa to conduct a program rooted in Eastern European folk music.
The NAC Orchestra’s beloved concertmaster, Yosuke Kawasaki, steps into the spotlight to perform Johannes Brahms’s Violin Concerto.
An interstellar symphony: Astronaut Neil Armstrong brought a recording of Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony aboard the Apollo 11 mission to the moon!

In his “New World” Symphony, Antonín Dvořák sought to create a portrait of America, inspired by his travels across the United States. The result is a musical tapestry of international scope, in which Dvořák weaves elements of African American spirituals and traditional Native American music with tunes from his Czech homeland in an endless stream of ear-catching melodies.
Johannes Brahms may have taken 25 years to compose a violin concerto for his close friend, Joseph Joachim, but it was worth the wait. In his only work for solo violin and orchestra, Brahms unleashes the full expressive potential of the violin with music of sublime lyricism, stormy emotions, and a foot-stomping finale inspired by Hungarian dances.
And transport yourself to late 19th-century Hungary in Zoltán Kodály’s Dances of Galánta—a vibrant exploration of the town’s folk music that travels from profound sorrow to breathless bliss.

Festival of Small Halls Presents: Devin Cuddy Duo
2025-10-17 19:00 - 22:00 | Manotick United Church, 5567 Manotick Main St., Manotick, ON, K4M1A5, Canada
Devin Cuddy is a singer-songwriter based in Toronto. From an early age, he was drawn to music of the past. While sifting through his father’s (Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo) CD collection, he found the music of Louis Armstrong and New Orleans blues piano players like Dr John and Professor Longhair. After attending York University for Jazz Piano, Devin started hanging around Toronto’s Cameron House, where he was inspired by the local singer-songwriter scene. He began his performing career alone at the piano, playing every Wednesday night. Drawing from inspirations like Randy Newman and Steve Earle, Devin started to build up a catalogue of his own material. His first release, Volume One, was released in late 2012 and was nominated for a Juno. Volume One was followed up by Kitchen Knife, produced by Greg Keelor, and then an EP called Amy’s Dream, produced by Chis Stringer, whose songs Maggie’s Hardware Store (a cover of a Jack Marks song) and Radio took him in a more roots rock direction. This direction continues with Devin’s latest release Dear Jane.
