SUMMARY:CMC Presents: Imagined Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 22\, 2026\nDoors at 7:00pm – Show at 7:30pm\nCMC Presents : Imagined Spaces\nwith Dame Cook and Sergei Kofman\nContrasting wildly different approaches to integrating acoustic and electronic music these two artists imagine ways in which instruments and sound design create spaces both real and imagined.\nComing off a residency at Chalmers House this summer\, Sergei’s music explores the relationship between acoustic piano\, live processing\, and modular synthesizer. Using a pitch tracking algorithm to control the synthesizer\, the music explores the connection points and failures of technology. Dame Cook’s recent album “in that bedroom\, in that white house” in contrast samples instruments and room noises in a deconstruction of bedroom pop aesthetics. Coupled with their superimposed film projections the effect is of being in multiple places at the same time. \n—- \nSergei Kofman (b. 1996) is a composer and producer based in Toronto. Sergei works in a wide range of mediums\, including recorded and live experimental electronic music\, film music\, and music production. Sergei completed a masters degree in Composition from the University of Toronto in 2020\, where he was awarded the 2021 Ann H. Atkinson prize for his piece Voices in the Whir. \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, Sergei received support from the Toronto Arts Council for his project\, I Hear the Scent of Change and Stillness\, an EP which was released in 2023\, accompanied by a concert at Toronto’s ArrayMusic. \nSergei also works under the artist name Measure\, an experimental electronic solo project which encompasses most of his musical output. Under the Measure moniker\, Sergei releases solo work\, performs live across Toronto\, and contributes music to film and media projects. His credits include Nick Funness’ film The Hedonist\, Brigita Gedgaudas’ dance-technology piece Be Vardų\, Be Kojų\, and Parisa Sabet’s art installation project Sabzeh. \nSergei/Measure is currently working on his debut full-length album\, “Artefacts”\, with the Toronto-based label Halocline Trance. \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 : Guitar Night
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 5\, 2026\nDoors at 7:00pm – Show at 7:30pm\nCMC Presents : Guitar Night \nwith Rodrigo Simões and Dipo Adeola\nPresenting two very different but no less innovative approaches to jazz guitar. Emerging Toronto-based guitarist and composer Dipo Adeola extends a classic jazz approach into new and unexpected territory. Montreal-based Rodrigo Simões blends Brazillian music with jazz to acheive something greater than the sum of its parts. \n— \nRodrigo Simões is a composer with a distinctive style that oscillates between Brazilian music and jazz improvisation. His international career has taken him to China\, Australia\, South Korea\, Paraguay\, and the United States\, in addition to his native Brazil and his adopted country\, Canada. The guitarist has collaborated with major artists in Brazil (Elza Soares\, Carlos Malta\, Paulinho da Viola\, Dominguinhos\, Zeca Baleiro\, and Paulo Moska) and in Canada (Bill McBirnie\, Joel Miller\, Sienna Dahlen\, Alex Lefaivre\, Sonia Johnson\, Mark Nelson\, Carl Mayotte\, Daniel Bellegarde\, Rémi Bolduc\, and Jean-Pierre Zanella). In 2013\, his first album ‘Aos Velhos Amigos’ was released in Brazil. In 2018\, he completed a master’s degree in jazz composition at the University of Montreal under the supervision of bassist Alain Caron (UZEB). That same year\, he released his second album ‘Jazz Brésilien’\, which won the bronze medal at the Global Music Awards and was ranked among the top five jazz albums of 2018 in Quebec by Sorties Jazz Nights. In 2019\, he became an instructor of the Afro-Cuban Brazilian Jazz Ensemble at McGill University. In 2023\, he released his third album under the theme of the number 3. TRE is Rodrigo Simões’ new concept album\, produced by the Toronto jazz label Three Pines Records\, which received the bronze medal at the Global Music Awards for Best Latin Album. Rodrigo’s group won the ‘Band of the Year’ award at the 2024 TUJazz Festival for their performance of TRE. \nDipo Adeola is a Toronto-based guitarist and composer and a graduate of the University of Toronto’s Jazz Performance program. Influenced by swing and bebop\, his playing combines rich harmony with a modern creative approach. He has performed at venues including The Rex\, Jazz Bistro\, and Tapestry. \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 : 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:
