SUMMARY:The Borrowers
DESCRIPTION:Borrowers is a collection of joyful\, playful music\, inspired by the warmth of sunshine\, growing plants\, and the simple\, peaceful feeling that comes when everything seems to be going just right. Many of these pieces were written in the quiet moments between teaching kids\, capturing the fleeting beauty of life’s smaller\, yet profound\, joys. The music is meant to evoke a sense of lightness and ease\, like a sunlit afternoon when you have nothing to do but lay around on the grass. All of the musicians in Borrowers are long-time collaborators of Andew MacKelvie (saxophone) in one way or another. They include Sam Wilson on guitar\, Ellen Gibling on harp\, Gabriella Ciurcovich on bass\, and Matt Gallant on drums. The compositions are sparse enough that they will never hit the same way twice and are generally composed by Andrew\, with the exception of some melodies he is borrowing. \n\nTickets

SUMMARY:Chris Donnelly\, Nicola Miller\, Nicolas D’Amato
DESCRIPTION:Miller\, Donnelly and D’Amato reshape the familiar contours of the jazz songbook into a form all its own. The ensemble approaches classic standards as open canvases\, stretching and bending melodies into ever-evolving organisms. Their interplay is fluid and conversational—sometimes tender\, sometimes explosive—guided by deep listening and a shared commitment to discovery. Expect revered tunes to surface in surprising fragments\, dissolve into free-form improvisation\, and re-emerge transformed. The songs will be viewed through a prism of experimentation: adventurous\, intimate\, and alive in the moment. \n\nTickets $17.90-$27.59
