Expo 2025 Community Consultation!

Expo 2025 Community Consultation!

Expo 2025 Community Consultation!

Toronto deserves to be showcased to the world. Not only that, Toronto deserves to reap the economic, systemic and societal benefits that are attached to hosting a World Expo. Expo’67 in Montréal and Expo ’86 in Vancouver were major events that brought both cities to the international playground. They also allowed Montréal and Vancouver to build important infrastructure that helps the cities function to this day. Not only are the economic and cultural benefits massive, but hosting a World Expo provides the opportunity to represent our country on the world stage. It is our time!

Join us for a community consultation with Councillor Wong-Tam, presented by North York Arts.

JPEC Presents: Fred Hirsch Trio

JPEC Presents: Fred Hirsch Trio

Date: Saturday, April 16, 2016

Time: 8pm

Place: Studio Theatre, Toronto Centre for the Arts, 5040 Yonge Street

Fred Hersch has performed with his favourite trio , bassist John Hebert and drummer Eric McPherson since 2009. Praised in a New York Times Sunday Magazine feature as “singular among the trailblazers of their art, a largely unsung innovator of this borderless, individualistic jazz—a jazz for the 21st century,” he balances his internationally recognized instrumental and composing skills with significant achievements as a bandleader, collaborator and theatrical conceptualist.

Hersch’s influence has been widely felt on a new generation of jazz pianists, from former students Brad Mehldau and Ethan Iverson to his colleague Jason Moran, who has said “Fred at the piano is like LeBron James on the basketball court. He´s perfection!”
