Art of Time Ensemble: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Chamberfest turns 30 and we are opening our tricenary festival with a bang! We begin the celebrations with Art of Time Ensemble’s Sgt. Pepper, an album re-imagined and re-invented through newly commissioned arrangements from pop, jazz, and classical composers. Sung by Canadian pop icons Steven Page, Chris Murphy, Jeremy Fisher, and Andy Maize, and performed by some of the world’s finest instrumentalists, their fusion of high art and popular culture leave audiences “…invigorated, challenged, surprised, delighted” and wanting more! But it’s now or never: after 80 productions and recordings and extensive touring (including appearances at Chamberfest), it’s this beloved ensemble’s final season, so don’t miss your chance to “sit back and let the evening go,” with a concert that is guaranteed to inspire, full of such “tremendous talent, it’ll make you giddy.”

This series celebrates Canada’s world-class standard in chamber performance, featuring string and piano ensembles, choirs, baroque music, singers, dancers, and a bit of jazz. This series also hosts Chamberfest’s 30ᵗʰ Anniversary Celebration on closing night! Taking place at Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre, these concerts are generously supported by Marina Kun (of Ottawa-based and internationally loved Kun Shoulder Rests).
Our late-night Chamberfringe concerts cross genres and art forms, pushing the boundaries of chamber music with daring and electric performances. Offering everything from lively Arabic jazz to Middle Eastern-Metal fusion, Indigenous beats, and ambient chamber-electronica to Yiddish folk song, or a full-on Ukrainian-Celtic-Arab mashup, there’s always something fresh to check out!
Our Chamberfringe shows take place at La Nouvelle Scène, Club SAW, and The Gladstone Theatre, providing a more casual setting where audiences can enjoy beverages and immerse themselves in the buzzing late-night atmosphere.
