2nd Fridays: Meghan Gilhespy, Sam Wilson, Regan Mowery
Live music, cheap booze, and a little bit of beautiful, glorious chaos. Halfway between a recital and a party. Be there.
2nd Fridays is a series that builds community, where artists can take risks in a supportive environment and where we strip the stuffiness out of the concert hall and turn it into the city’s most interesting living room. Less a concert; more a house party, where the bands just happen to be a collection of the most talented and adventurous players in the country.
This time, we’re unleashing three impressive woman in one night: Modern jazz and experimental vocalist Meghan Gilhespy, improvisational finger-style guitarist Sam Wilson & exploratory jazz drummer Regan Mowery.
Witness beautiful, intelligent, and dangerous minds at play. The bar is open. The rules are set aside (except for the fire code- we can’t do anything about that), and any donations you make will go directly to the performers. The future of Canadian music is being forged at the CMC, just after hours this time.
No gods. No masters. Only sound.

Piazzolla and Beyond
Join us for a musical journey through the vibrant world of Piazzolla and Beyond, where tango meets modern rhythms in a unique fusion.
Piazzolla and Beyond is a vibrant journey through the rhythmic pulse and emotional depth of tango nuevo. The program highlights how Piazzolla’s voice continues to inspire Canadian composers who blend classical form with the sensual energy of Argentine tango.
From Hatzis’ introspective Old Photographs to Davies’ lyrical Tango and Kutnowski’s dynamic Buenos Aires Y2K, the concert weaves a narrative of nostalgia, rhythm, and reinvention — culminating with Piazzolla’s own Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.
Designed for chamber music audiences that appreciate both sophistication and passion, this program brings together familiar and fresh voices, bridging cultures and eras through the expressive power of the piano trio.
