SUMMARY:Stories Behind the Music
DESCRIPTION: Transition to Modern Times (Listening Session)\nThere is a human life behind every piece of art. \nStories Behind the Music is a curated listening and concert series I created to explore classical music as a living story—shaped by real people\, their friendships\, struggles\, and the world they lived in. \n100 Years of Stories\nOn March 29th\, we gather to explore the Transition to Modern Times. \nI will share stories that cover the entire journey of the 20th century—from the late 19th century all the way to the year 2000. We will talk about how history changed and how composers found new ways to express their world. \nA Mysterious Masterpiece\nBecause the music of this era is so powerful and deep\, we will dedicate our entire listening time to one single\, monumental composition from a curated recording. \nThis “hidden gem” was written in 1999\, at the very end of the century. It is a profound bridge between the old world and the new. I am keeping the title a surprise for now\, but we will experience this massive work together in the quiet of the sanctuary. \nYour Guide to Modern Times\nAs with our previous sessions\, I am preparing a personal guide for you to take home. This guide isn’t just about one piece; it covers the entire transitional period. It includes my personal recommendations for: \n\nEssential modern classical music\nMovies that capture the spirit of the era\nBooks to help you dive deeper into the history\n\nWhat to Expect\n\nA Century in Stories: A brief history of music from the late 1800s to the turn of the millennium.\nThe “1999” Mystery: A deep-dive listening session of one major work that defines the end of the century.\nA Take-Home Guide: My curated list of music\, films\, and books to help you explore this era on your own.\nSocial Connection: Stay after the session for light refreshments\, snacks\, and conversation.\n\nEvent Details\n\nWhen: Sunday\, March 29th | 2:00 PM\nWhere: Hillside United Church (Sanctuary)\nAdmission: Free (Registration requested)\n\nSave the Date: Join us for our series finale: a live Piano Trio concert on April 19th at 2:00 PM\, featuring music by Dvořák\, Rachmaninoff\, Debussy\, Piazzolla\, and more! \nWith Gratitude\nThis project would not be possible without the ongoing support of the United Church of Canada Foundation and the Hillside United Church team. Thank you for providing the space and care to make this happen. \nSpecial thanks to the Royal Bank of Canada for their generous donation\, which keeps this program free and accessible to everyone. \nPlease reserve your spot so we can plan refreshments and seating accordingly.

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.
