Nat Lazzarotto, Fraser Calhoun, and the Bowline Jazz Quartet have put together a low-key series at Congress Coffee Company playing jazz from and inspired by the 50s & 60s. Its a relaxed night that's very much about the room and the people in it. Come to listen or hang out and chat with friends.

The Band:

Nat Lazzarotto - Trombone

Fraser Calhoun - Tenor Sax

Alex Gonzalez - Piano

Steve Shepard - Upright Bass

Jon McCaslin - Drums

A performance that brings together electronic music, choreography, and voice, created and performed by Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Zoë Poluch, and Elisa Harkins, the work examines minimalism and contemporary dance through the lens of multiple cultural histories and embodied practices.

Drawing from abstraction, repetition, and pattern, the performance unsettles the perceived neutrality of minimalist aesthetics. Through shifting power dynamics and layered presence, the work makes visible what has often been rendered invisible within colonial systems of recognition.

Concert 3: Word Painters
Sunday, May 3, 2026, 3 pm 
St. Andrew’s United Church (9915 148 St NW, Edmonton)

Join us for a colourful concert with many special elements! 

The Da Camera Singers are excited to join forces with guest choir, Archbishop Jordan High School, and their conductor, Jolaine Kerley, for a concert exploring the vibrant world of word painting. You will hear each choir perform their own repertoire and they will collaborate on several pieces as well.

Greenwood Singers presents the Alberta premiere of Considering Matthew Shepard, a powerful concert-length work that reflects on the life, death, and legacy of a young man whose 1998 murder shocked the world.

Nearly 30 years later, the story remains urgently relevant.
