Chrysalis is our annual opportunity to celebrate the creative writing skills of Ottawa area songwriters and composers. How do we do that? We sing their songs, honour their musical talent and appreciate their contribution to our culture, all in an Open Stage format.

Each participant may perform up to 2 songs to a maximum of 8 minutes in total, including introductions. Each song must have been written by an Ottawa area songwriter other than the performer.

If you’d like to perform at Chrysalis, please register by contacting Alan Sandeman at sandemal405@gmail.com before midnight on June 20. Participation is restricted to a maximum of 20 performers so please register early.

Not a performer? That’s OK. We’d love to see you at the Westboro Masonic Hall on the afternoon of June 22 as part of our audience. There’s no charge to attend the concert and you’ll be treated to an array of marvellous performances by a number of talented Ottawa area artists, each singing and playing the music of other area songwriters. It promises to be a wonderful afternoon of music. We hope you’ll join us.
