Big Sing Ottawa!

Westboro Masonic Hall

Tickets: $25

Dynamic… magnificent… joyful” are just some of the superlatives used to describe the experience of singing together in harmony with Evemarie Brunelle. The Montreal-based singer, choir leader, and performer will return with Big Sing Ottawa! on Sunday, October 18 from 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm.

A fun, energetic, sing-along harmony event, Big Sing Ottawa! is co-sponsored by Gil’s Hootenanny and Spirit of Rasputin’s. For Gil’s Hootenanny team member Tamara Levine, “Evemarie is so much more than a song leader. Within minutes of gathering – for those lucky enough to join her, young and old, with or without singing experience – Evemarie has every voice in the circle unselfconsciously rising to join her in spirited songs from around the world. We leave her with songs in our hearts and hope or the world.”

Evemarie comes from a musical family. At age seven, she began singing beside her mother in a church choir conducted by her father. After graduating from the Community Choir Leadership Training in 2009, she founded the well-known Allez Chante! non-auditioned choirs in Montreal.

Designed for all ages and voices and requiring no experience, Big Sing Ottawa! will take place on Sunday, October 18 at the Westboro Masonic Hall. Hope to see you there.

Tin Constellations, possibly one of the fastest rising Ottawa-based folk ensembles, is coming to the Westboro Masonic Hall on October 24 to perform for the Rasputin’s community. ‘Tin Cons’, as its rapidly growing fan base calls it, is “an orchestral-folk ensemble that features rich four-part harmonies, an upright bass, soaring strings, and subtle percussion”. Tin Cons seamlessly blends atmospheric folk with intricate instrumentals and compelling story-telling.

Formed in 2020 by a group of seasoned local musicians who met and melded at Meow! That’s Hot, the group has quickly carved out a distinctive niche for itself in the region’s vibrant roots music scene. The Tin Cons sound features a rich interplay of acoustic instruments, evocative songwriting and haunting harmonies.

Alison Bowie of Ottawa Grassroots Festival said of its recent show: “Tin Constellations delivered a standout performance that delighted both our attendees and our team. The audience feedback was nothing short of spectacular.”

Over the next four weeks leading up to our concert, we’ll be revealing more information about the group, its members and their musical philosophy. We’ll dive into some of their lyrics and share the story behind the October 24 performance, called Cobden.

Order your tickets early as we anticipate this concert could sellout. Watch this space next week for an introduction to the dynamic musicians collectively known as Tin Constellations.
