“Absolute musical perfection… full, robust sound… impeccable balance” 
– The Boston Musical Intelligencer

The Balourdet Quartet is acclaimed for their vibrant energy and masterful blend of technical precision and emotional depth that brings a fresh perspective to both beloved classics and modern compositions.

Five voices which have become legendary for their homogenous sound. Five singers who jointly explore the character of each song in order to bring it to life for the audience. Five singers so perfectly in tune with each other that their ‘vocal instrument’ spans the range of an entire orchestra.

Listening to amarcord reminds us that singing is the most natural form of music – produced by the body for the human soul.

“Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra is a testament to what hard work and dedication to art and scholarship can do over time. This is a world-class period instrument ensemble … the playing is superb.”
—Ludwig van Toronto

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear one of Canada’s premier Early Music ensembles up close.

This isn’t your typical night at the opera. Opera Pub is where music meets mischief. From soaring arias to unexpected musical theatre pieces, no two nights are ever the same. And that’s exactly how we like it.

Whether you’re a lifelong opera fan or just here for a good time, Opera Pub is the perfect way to unwind midweek with a pint in hand and some seriously stunning vocals just a few feet away. Expect students, stars, surprise guests, and always a few curveballs.

Admission is Free
Opera Pub is free to attend. No tickets, no cover charge.

Proclaimed “a phenomenon” by the Los Angeles Times and “one of the best pianists of his generation” by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Stewart Goodyear is an accomplished concert pianist, improviser and composer.
