Songs of the City IV

Toronto’s vibrant original music scene gets a fresh, sophisticated treatment at *Songs of the City IV*. This concert features a curated selection of tracks from local artists like Jackson Welchner, Elisabeth Dorion, Zinnia, Kali Horse, and Bernice, all re-imagined for a chamber jazz ensemble featuring strings and vibes.

The Ensemble The performance brings together a stellar group of musicians, including Jessica Deutsch and Audrey Mae on violin, Rachael Cardiello on viola, Jill Sauerteig on cello, Elisabeth Dorion on vocals and percussion, Michael Davidson on vibes, and Jackson Welchner on guitar and vocals. With visuals by KERUB, this promises to be a multi-sensory experience that highlights the incredible talent within our city’s music community.

This concert is a testament to the versatility of Toronto’s musicians and the collaborative spirit that defines our local scene. Arraymusic, located on Walnut Avenue, provides the perfect intimate setting for this kind of nuanced, high-quality performance.
