SUMMARY:CMC Presents : Star Songs
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 16\, 2026\nDoors at 7:00pm – Show at 7:30pm\nCMC Presents : Star Songs \nwith Catharin Carew and Hoi Tong Keung\nImagine Chalmers House turned into a black-box theatre! In this concert Catharin and Hoi Tong will explore the intersection of music and theatre in a dramatic re-presentation of the recital. Hoi Tong\, alongside Köng Duo member Beavis Ng\, present their “percussion theatre” works that transform their percussion instruments into props\, cartoon backgrounds\, and even characters themselves! Paired with Catharin’s exploration of songs about the stars from the CMC’s own catalog. Catharin’s dramatic interpretations of the Art Song repertoire bring these songs to life into something beyond the standard recital. \n—- \nMezzo soprano Catharin Carew (she/they) is equally at home on both the operatic and concert stage\, having performed a wide range of classical repertoire\, from Baroque to Contemporary. \nShe has been described as “a real personality with a dark edge to her mezzo as well as clear top notes” (WhatsOnStage\, UK) as well as “exhilarating” (Opera Canada). Career highlights include premiering the role of Maeve in Ana Sokolovic’s The Midnight Court at the Royal Opera House\, Covent Garden with Queen of Puddings Music Theatre\, performing Mrs. Grose in the Aldeburgh production of The Turn of the Screw\, singing in Tapestry New Opera Works’ Queers Crash the Opera and working with Powerhouse Opera in 2022\, singing the role of Klytaminestra  in their production of Elektra.  Catharin has sung 26 of Bach’s cantatas as a soloist through the Bach Vespers series at the Church of the Redeemer. \nRecent performances by Catharin include premiering the role of Demeter in Elizabeth Raum’s new opera Romance of the Gods with Orchestra Toronto\, participating in a workshop presentation of Afarin Mansouri’s opera The Refugees at the new Tapestry Studios\, making her debut as Brangäne in Powerhouse Opera’s production of Tristan und Isolde\, appearing as the mezzo soloist in the Canadian premiere of Robert Cohen’s oratorio Alzheimer Stories with Pax Christi Chorale in Toronto and again with Chor Amica in London and performing the title role in Mascagni’s opera Zanetto with Grand River Opera in Kitchener-Waterloo. \nThis August Catharin will be performing as part of the Ukranian Art Song Project’s Summer Institute and in the September looks forward to singing the role of Říhová in Dvořák’s opera Tvrdé palice with the Canadian Institute for Czech Music. \n  \n\n\n \nHong Kong-raised percussionist Hoi Tong Keung believes in the power of music in connecting people. As a contemporary music advocate\, she has attended Darmstadt Summer Course (Germany) and soundSCAPE festival (online)\, collaborating with composers and premiering their works. Her performance and research interests lie on the interplay between modes of expression\, be it Eastern and Western music\, acoustic and electronic instruments\, or music and speech. Among which\, Hoi Tong’s doctoral research focuses on incorporating spoken Cantonese into percussion music. One of the commissioned works for her research-creation project is One Dollar for One Turtle by Ehwa Hong (France/Korea)\, which was premiered at Festival POTE in Besançon\, France. \nHoi Tong co-founded KöNG Duo with percussionist Bevis Ng. In 2022\, they curated their début set “good morning\, hong kong” during their residency at Banff Centre. Since then\, they have performed locally at Music TORONTO’s Celebration of Small Ensembles series and internationally at the New Music Gathering in the U.S.A.. Besides discovering under-performed gems\, they collaborate with emerging composers and have premiered over 15 works. The Duo won First Prize at the 2023 Southern California Marimba International Artist Competition and was named Young Artistic Associates of Confluence Concerts in the 2023–2024 season. KöNG Duo proudly endorses Marimba One instruments. \nHoi Tong is a doctoral candidate at the University of Toronto under the guidance of Aiyun Huang and Beverley Johnston. She holds degrees from Boston Conservatory at Berklee and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. \n  \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nTicket price:\nGeneral Admission. $15 Advance / $20 at the door\nCMC Members and Arts Workers. $12 Advance / $15 at the door\nStudents. $10 anytime \nVenue:\nCanadian Music Centre\n20 St. Joseph Street\nToronto\, ON\nM4Y 1J9\n416-961-6601 x202 \n  \nSupported by:

SUMMARY:CMC Presents : Crossover
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 21\, 2026\nDoors at 7:00pm – Show at 7:30pm\nCMC Presents : Crossover \nwith Cope Land and Eunice Keitan \nJoin us for an unforgettable evening of Jazz fusion! Montreal-based Cope Land blends synthesizers and nu-metal aesthetics with the spontaneity of Jazz in a combination that is wholely unique. Toronto-based Eunice Keitan\, on the other hand blends neo-soul with the multicultural aesthetics of her home country of Malaysia bringing the chinese guzheng to her unique Jazz vocal style. \n—- \nCope Land is a genre-bending band from Montreal\, Canada\, creating music that is exciting\, original and varied. Led by guitarist Ben Copland Gilbert\, this bilingual group fuses alternative and progressive rock with rap\, jazz and metal\, sounding powerful and virtuosic both in performance and on recordings. Improvisation gives way to cutting rap verses\, only to be swept away by soaring vocals over heavy guitar riffs\, leading to a music that often surprises. Available in several ensembles\, combining a variable brass section with an ensemble of vocals\, guitar\, synthesizer\, bass and drums\, Cope Land always captivates with its driving rhythms\, intensity\, and dynamics. The band has been lucky enough to grace many Canadian festivals\, most notably a main stage performance at the Montreal International Jazz Festival and Festival Vue sur la Relève. They just released their second album\, “Expire”\, on February 14\, 2025. This album\, more so rock music than ever before\, is sung and rapped half in English\, half in French. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nEunice Keitan is a Malaysian/Canadian singer-songwriter whose music reflects her diverse international background and eclectic influences. With a captivating blend of Neo-Soul and World Folk styles\, Eunice creates a unique sonic landscape that is both soulful and innovative. \nHer latest EP\, supported by The Toronto Arts Council\, showcases Eunice’s talent for reimagining traditional Asian soundscapes in a modern context. Her music has been featured on CBC music\, The Toronto Guardian\, Exclaim Magazine\, Stereofox\, Now magazine\, and Canadian Beats. Her previous work has also been nominated for a Toronto Independent Music Award. \n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTicket price:\nGeneral Admission. $15 Advance / $20 at the door\nCMC Members and Arts Workers. $12 Advance / $15 at the door\nStudents. $10 anytime \nVenue:\nCanadian Music Centre\n20 St. Joseph Street\nToronto\, ON\nM4Y 1J9\n416-961-6601 x202 \n  \nSupported by:
