SUMMARY:Garrett Mason
DESCRIPTION:Garrett Mason is a true bluesman at heart. He was raised in Truro\, Nova Scotia by his mother Pam\, and father\, veteran Canadian Bluesman Dutch Mason. His quest to become a blues musician started at a very early age; being surrounded by music blues music\, Garrett’s favorite tapes at 3 years old were Canned Heat and Buddy Rich. What really sealed the deal for Garrett to become a blues guitarist came after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughn “Live At the El Mocambo” – he was hooked. \nHis dad\, Dutch Mason\, stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born due to crippling arthritis in his hands. Although he was not able to teach his son to play\, he has certainly been able to teach Garrett the structure of the Blues and to influence him about the resulting sound. Surrounded by his father’s peers\, Garrett has had the benefit of hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent. The late Rick Jeffery was a great inspiration to Garrett; they would talk and play for hours together. Rick once said “Garrett is the only guitar player I know that can play Albert Collins’ style down to a T”. The combination of his father’s advice\, Jeffery’s guidance and his own natural talents provide that special brew for Garrett to become the musical influence he is destined to be. \nGarrett would be the first to tell you that riding the coat tails of others won’t take you very far in this business\, but striving to be truly original is the secret to longevity and lasting success. Garrett launched his debut CD I’m Just a Man at the 2004 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton\, New Brunswick to a sold out crowd. \nThis debut CD features Garrett’s talent for strong original songs\, a voice that is reminiscent of a veteran performer and his extraordinary aptitude for playing electric guitar. Garrett’s original talent was awarded in 2005 when he received a Juno for Best Blues Album. Garrett Mason is poised to be one of the brightest stars to emerge from the East Coast Blues scene in years. \nGarrett’s band released their sophomore album Love and Sound in July 2008 which was nominated for a Juno Award. The album won Blues Artist/Group Recording of the Year at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia and Industry Awards.

SUMMARY:Music of ABBA
DESCRIPTION:Our first Sensory-Accessible Concerts program of the new year offers a fresh take on the music of Swedish supergroup ABBA\, as members of OperAtlantic blend classical artistry with the pulse of pop. Sopranos Suzanne Rigden and Elizabeth Humphries\, tenor Glen Nowell\, and bass Kurt Sampson join pianist Tara Scott to reimagine familiar songs with warmth and vitality\, revealing the emotion and storytelling that make ABBA’s music so timeless. The program moves through some of ABBA’s biggest hits in unexpected and expressive ways. “Take a Chance on Me” bursts with playful momentum\, while “Chiquitita” unfolds with tenderness and quiet resilience. “Super Trouper” carries an undercurrent of determination\, its brightness edged with strength\, and “Knowing Me\, Knowing You” lingers on moments of honesty and change. In “The Winner Takes It All\,”emotion and poise intertwine\, and “Thank You for the Music” becomes a joyful nod to creativity and connection. “Happy New Year” balances reflection with hope\, and “Dancing Queen\,” always an audience favourite\, fills the space with rhythm\, warmth\, and an energy that’s impossible to resist. \n\n\nHosted by pianist Jennifer King and co-presented with Halifax Public Libraries\, these concerts run from fall to spring at the Halifax Central Library. Each program is thoughtfully curated and features low lighting\, noise-reduction headphones\, open spaces to move and dance\, a quiet room\, and a relaxed atmosphere where attendees are free to move and vocalize. Certified Music Therapist Anna Plaskett along with a team of Music Therapists and movement facilitators from Phin Performing Arts are present to support families in relaxing and enjoying the music together. \nSensory-Accessible Concerts is a free\, monthly series offering a safe\, inclusive\, and welcoming space for everyone to enjoy chamber music. Designed with consideration for autistic\, neurodivergent\, and intellectually disabled community members and their families\, as well as seniors experiencing age-related hearing and vision changes\, the series welcomes anyone who may find traditional concert environments challenging\, yet all are invited to attend! \nThe Sensory-Accessible Concerts series is made possible through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, the J&W Murphy Foundation\, the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia\, the Harrison McCain Foundation\, the Craig Foundation\, the Cecilia Concerts Season Sponsor Nice Moves / Red Door Realty\, and our presenting partner the Halifax Public Libraries. We appreciate the gifts from the many individual donors who continue to support this important initiative.
