TRAVIS KNIGHTS

Tap Dancer. Performer. Choreographer. Speaker. Believer. Travis Knights is realizing his dreams, pounding rhythms on wood floors all over the world. His talent and dedication have earned him audiences in Shanghai, Dusseldorf, Paris, New York, and Vancouver to name a few. ​

Celebrate National Poetry Month at Arts Hub Poetry Reading & Open Mic

Every year, Canada celebrates the timeless art of poetry in April.

You can’t hold back Spring (wrote Tom Waits), and you can’t hold back poets from writing. From coast-to-coast-to coast, audiences enjoy hearing poems read aloud by poets. Sponsored by the League of Canadian Poets, every year has a theme. For 2025, it is FAMILY.

All over our country in April, poets share their work. They host readings, facilitate workshops, Spoken Word, and Poetry Slams. Poets also bring poetry into schools and retirement residences. They launch books, write spontaneous poetry for people, and read their poetry in libraries. All this helps promotes the reading, writing and teaching of poetry. It also brings people together to celebrate one of our most treasured forms of literature, and one that plays a vital role in expressing many cultural and linguistic identities.

You have a chance to join in the celebration! Poetry Brockville is hosting a reading on Saturday April 26th from 7pm to 9 pm at The Arts Hub Studio Space, 32 Park Street in Brockville. There are four featured poets including Carolyn Ciccoritti, Lois Lorimer, and Alice McMurtry. An Open Mic will be available for the first three people who sign up at the door.

Whether you are new to poetry, have never attended a reading before, or just happy to enjoy a form of literature that has been with us for centuries, you will be warmly welcomed.

This is a FREE event. (With a PWYC option) We hope you will join us for this entertaining and celebratory literary event in Brockville.

Presenting Poets: Carolyn Ciccoritti, Alice McMurtry, and Lois Lorimer. There will be another poet TBD. Also open mic for poets.

Enter at lower door from King Street, Gallery Level

Meg has more than one story to tell and she’s sure to tickle your funny bone. Set in the Rosewood Retirement Home,octogenarian Meg Miller loves to recall the days she spent growing up in the Ottawa Valley back in the 1950s and 60s.

ENSEMBLE CAPRICE
Sweet! Chocolate and French Baroque Music

Since it was founded by flautist Matthias Maute three decades ago, Ensemble Caprice has made its mark as one of the most sought-after ensembles on the classical music scene. Caprice has gained a solid reputation for its innovative programming and vibrant, compelling performances.

The musicians of Ensemble Caprice have travelled to the four corners of the globe, giving performances in dozens of countries on four continents. The Ensemble’s tours have taken its members to Asia, China, Taiwan, Africa, Morocco, Tunisia and South Africa as well as several European Countries and the Americas. It has been the featured guest ensemble in many prestigious festivals, including the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music in London, festivals in Bruges (Belgium) and Utrecht (the Netherlands), the Felicia Blumental International Music Festival in Tel Aviv, and, in Germany, the Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci, the Early Music Days in Regensburg, the Händel-Festspiele in Halle, and the Stockstadt Festival.

In the USA, the group has performed at New York City’s Miller Theater and Frick Collection, the Boston Early Music Festival, and the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. In Canada, the Ensemble has been heard in Ottawa at the Music and Beyond Festival and the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival; it has performed at Early Music Vancouver, Early Music Voices in Calgary, the Edmonton Chamber Music Society, the Elora Festival and the International Festival Domaine Forget.

This impressive roadmap bears witness to the fact that Caprice is recognised as being one of today’s leading baroque ensembles.
