Tafelmusik! Must see concert of the year
The world's greatest baroque orchestra is coming to Saskatoon, and taking us from a November's night on the Canadian plains to 16th century Italy - follow in Galileo's steps as he first sees the moons of Jupiter...marvels at the rings of Saturn.
Picture it now - a concert experience like no other.
An actor who makes you feel like you are with the great explorer of the universe.
A projection screen showing the images from the Hubble Telescope.
18 instruments from the renaissance. And an orchestra filled with some of the most gifted, inspired, and expressive musicians in the world.
The Galileo Project was conceived, scripted, and programmed by Alison McKay - McKay grew up right here in Saskatoon, giving this performance a homecoming trimuph.
And why is this not to be missed? This is the second last performance EVER of the Galileo Project.
Tickets are on sale now at Persephone Theatre Box Office

Proms!
Every Thursday night all summer long, Third Ave comes alive with Saskatoon's best and coolest musicians.
Check back here May 14th for the announcement of concert performers!
Trust us, you'll want to clear up your Thursdays.
The Proms are coming to town!
For over a century, The Proms has been a summer-way-of-life in England. London's Royal Albert Hall has performances all summer long featuring some of the world's best musicians....its a way to celebrate life and inspire people under the summer sun.
Third Ave is excited to host the first ever Saskatoon Summer Proms - the concerts will take place every Thursday through July and August. The shows start at 7pm...that way people can come out after supper, and still have time after the concert to enjoy wandering around the gorgeous downtown. Take in a glass of wine at the Ivy, head over to the Holiday Inn for dessert.
The Proms will feature incredible exciting combinations of performances - the meeting of classical and jazz, musical theatre and world. Gypsy music one week, and opera the next.
Diverse and funky. It's what we do.

In just 8 days there will be a massive concert event at Third Ave. Internationally acclaimed jazz aritst Carol Welsman celebrates the launch of her brand new album "Journey" from the stage located in the concert hall at 304 3rd.
Welsman has captivated audiences around
the world with her expressive vocal styling and dynamic stage presence. She has
sold over 60,000 CDs in Canada alone, something few jazz artists in Canada have
experienced.
“We are excited and honoured to present
Carol Welsman in concert. She is one of the best jazz artists in the world,”
says Third Avenue Centre Artist Director Mark Turner. “Saskatoon is Carol’s
first performance following the release of her brand new album, Journey. It is a concert and a
celebration,” explains Turner.
The Welsman concert is a fund raising
event for Third Ave Centre for Community Enrichment, a newly established
non-profit organization. Its vision is to establish Third Avenue United Church
as a premium cultural venue in Saskatoon. The Centre operates independently
from the Church and promotes the space for concerts and community events to raise
funds. Proceeds will be directed toward building facility upgrades and sustainability.
“Third Ave, as it is commonly called in
Saskatoon, is a cornerstone of culutral and community events for the city. As
we enter the centennial year of the building, our organization will work to
ensure the building’s existence and significance in the heart of Saskatoon,”
says Angela Kempf, Chair, Board of Directors, Third Avenue Centre.Turner encourages people to purchase tickets and experience an inspirational performance in a beautiful concert venue. In his own words, “Carol’s performance will blow everyone away.”

Carol Welsman LIVE at Third Ave!!
WOW!
When I was a teenager I got this MASSIVE crush on this amazing jazz singer/pianist - I bought up all her albums, and listened sooooo close to every sound she made. Everyone told me how great a singer she was...but as a pianist, I sat and listened intensely to the way her fingers fell on the keys.
It is completely rare to find a pianist, classic/jazz/rock, who actually understands the way that a piano REALLY works. The idea that the way the fingers leave the key is AS IMPORTANT as how they hit the keys.....
Then along came Carol....and my ears had a playground of sound.
And now, in some absolutely bizarre twist of fates, not only do I get to hear her new album...but I get to hear it live, in our very own concert hall!
Friday March 23rd - Carol Welsman Quartet LIVE!
Tickets on sale at Persephone
Carol Welsman - On the Road Again! - hear a track off the new album before it hits stores!
This event is the first ever self-produced event by Third Ave Centre. And its important that it sell out.
Why?
Many reasons.
We need a sell out so that Carol will come back and lap up the audience for her next album as well.
We need a sell out to show people that actually, a concert hall is vital to the city's downtown - and prove that its not about size, but about acoustic sound!
We need a sell out because, frankly, we have lofty goals ahead of us - to save a building the size and age of Third Ave, we need to bring in as much revenue as possible in these first few months. We're keeping ticket prices low, and hoping that people will pack the place to show their support for saving Third Ave.
Lets make culture happen people!!

Brew Notes!
So we have this awesome coffee house concert series that has started up. Brew Notes.
We've had a few performances over the last few months and something really cool has happened - its created a cool place for the occasional Friday night for some music and coffee.
This last weekend, we had a Brew Notes that featured young performers in an all ages show. High school kids who were needing a place to play. We ended up with a crowd of 50 who got to listen to some very cool performances. Great covers. Great originals. A performance by the AWESOME Left and Right - a young boy/girl duo from here in Saskatoon. At one point during their first song I thought, hhmmmm these two are the real deal.
We had some great contact with the performers and we're totally going to make the youth coffeehouse a regular event at Third Ave - a place where teenagers can come and have friends and family and strangers listen to their stuff...they get a chance to try out new things...they get to work on their stage skills....they get to be awesome for a night.
We have another coffee house concert coming up
Saturday, February 11th - Mostly Music and Partly Puppets by the Larsens with guest performer Cinderella
A GREAT kids show starting at 7pm. Tickets at the door!
