Geek Trivia
2025-09-29 18:30 - 21:30 | Level One Game Pub, 14 Waller Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 9C4, Canada
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

Yukon Blonde
2025-09-29 19:30 - 22:00 | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
If friendship comes naturally to Jeffrey Innes, Brandon Scott, Graham Jones & James Younger, so too does rock n’ roll. Yukon Blonde has always sounded classic, but they live in the present day. You won’t see them placating the myth of rock n’ roll. Never have they slipped into a “throwback” caricature of some supposed glory day. No posturing or pretending – it’s guitar music that doesn’t wink at the camera.
On their new album Friendship & Rock n’ Roll, the riffs are bold, and the vibes are bright. Even when the lyrical tone is defeated or heartbroken, we get the sense that everything is going to be alright. There’s whimsy in the subtext of Keep On Breaking My Heart, where Innes welcomes the punishment from his distant lover. The mid-tempo burner harkens to Tom Petty’s golden era in tone and playfulness – a cheeky grin behind the melancholy.
This is a seasoned quartet making music for the joy of it with songs that were cultivated the old-fashioned way: in a jam space. The band spent the summer of 2024 pooling song ideas and crafting air-tight arrangements before getting to work at Innes’ Vancouver area studio, Midvale Sound. Come hear their music live at the Fourth Stage!

Lang Lang & Alexander Shelley
2025-09-29 20:00 - 22:00 | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
Experience a pair of works by Ludwig van Beethoven that offer timeless messages of hope and resilience, despite being composed during a time of personal and political crisis.
As the Napoleonic Wars raged outside his door in Vienna, Beethoven composed his “Emperor” Concerto, a mighty work for piano and orchestra in which the composer transcends the violence surrounding him with music of heroism and joy. Lang Lang—the superstar Chinese pianist who makes “every musical gesture come to life” (Los Angeles Times)—joins forces with Music Director Alexander Shelley and the NAC Orchestra for what promises to be a powerhouse performance.
And in his 7th Symphony, Beethoven forges new paths in his music with a work inspired by the raw energy of dance. With his signature sense of drama and glorious melodies, you’ll be humming for days. Beethoven’s symphony sweeps us off our feet with vibrant ballroom dances, exhilarating country fiddling, and even a moment of heartbreaking solemnity.

2025-10-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe, 101 Centrepointe Drive, Nepean, Ontario, K2G 5K7, Canada
Direct from London’s West End, Seven Drunken Nights – The Story of The Dubliners returns stages in 2025.
In partnership with Tourism Ireland and in association with legendary Irish pub O’Donoghue’s—the place where it all started for The Dubliners back in 1962—Seven Drunken Nights tells the story of a career spanning 50 years and invokes the spirit of Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Ciaran Bourke and Jim McCann.
So much more than a jukebox musical celebration of The Dubliners, the show stars its charismatic writer and director Ged Graham, whose narration warmly guides the audience through the fascinating life of the group in between stunning performances of so many of their celebrated classics, including The Irish Rover, The Leaving of Liverpool, Belle of Belfast City, Dirty Old Town, The Banks of the Rose, Star of the County Down and The Town I Love So Well.

Shelley, Strauss & Dharmoo
2025-10-02 20:00 - 22:00 | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
Three things to know:

Alexander Shelley conducts a program highlighting two composers who use music to create mythic tales of heroes and villains.
In his massive musical poem Ein Heldenleben, Richard Strauss traces a journey of love and struggle inspired by the composer’s favourite hero—himself!
Gabriel Dharmoo constructs an imaginary body of folklore in Wanmansho, a theatrical work for solo vocalist and orchestra.

“I don’t see why I shouldn’t compose a symphony about myself. I find myself quite as interesting as Napoleon,” Richard Strauss once wrote.
With that bold battle cry of confidence, Richard Strauss composed Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life), harnessing the power of a super-sized orchestra to embark on a personal journey of love, art, and struggle. Get ready to hear music of cinematic realism as Strauss vividly portrays his memories of falling in love, waging war against his critics, and finding peace in the act of creation.
Canadian composer and vocalist Gabriel Dharmoo creates a hero of his own imagination in Wanmansho: the greatest ambassador of a mythical tradition of sung theatre. As he invites us to witness sacred rites depicting two mythological figures, Shreu and Djonr, Dharmoo embodies the spirit of Wanmansho while pushing the boundaries of symphonic storytelling.
