Beverly Glenn‑Copeland takes over Toronto for a transcendent evening of community music.

Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland bring an evening of deep resonance, where music, language, and spirit converge toward healing and connection. Glenn, the visionary singer, songwriter, and composer, alongside Elizabeth, the celebrated author, theatre artist, and educator, in a collaborative performance exploring creativity as a force for collective renewal. Glenn’s The One Ahead, his first new album in nearly two decades, channels joyful gratitude and the unyielding pulse of life. Together, they shape a shared practice of song and story where community itself becomes the art form. 

Also performing are Kamra and Topanga Trio. 

Kamra, a recording artist and cultural worker of Igbo Nigerian descent based in Yellowknife, NT, constructs electroacoustic environments that reimagine how we listen, move, and relate. Their projects: Activation Residency and Forest Fringe Farm, transform community and land into living frameworks for creative practice. 

St. John’s based Topanga Trio is singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Katie Baggs, Carole Bestvater, and Valmy who meld guitar, violin, bass, and piano into radiant, harmony-driven arrangements. Their music embodies the strength of collaboration and the sustaining power of song.

This event is presented in collaboration by Burn Down the Capital, Venus Fest and The Music Gallery. 

Event schedule (subject to change):

7:00 pm Kamra
7:45 pm Beverly Glenn-Copeland & Elizabeth Copeland
9:15 pm Topanga Trio

Join us for Wavelength’s final show of 2025, a tribute to electro-acoustic sound techniques and the ever-present influence of times past.

From the musicians behind JUNO-nominated band The Wooden Sky and Canada’s Greatest party band Dwayne Gretzky, comes Toronto’s own MOONRiiVR. Gavin Gardiner and “Champagne” James Robertson craft a sonic world that reflects every moment in time. With analog tape, slide guitars, wonky string synths, and nimble percussion, the term “Buddy Holly meets Krautrock” strangely comes to mind.

These Toronto music scene staples will be joined on the bill by genre-blurring Canadian singer-songwriter Sam Tudor. Both an individual and a project, Sam Tudor offers acoustic guitars colliding with Eno-inspired beats, distorted synths and jazz sensibilities. Similarly ambient and exploratory as heard on their fantastic 2024 album Shift Circuit, Kamra opens the evening with gossamer-like vocals to make each listener’s spirit turn crimson.

Join us at Arraymusic on Tuesday, September 30th for a special evening with Néfur, Iceland-based singer and composer, as she embarks on her first North American tour. Heart Map Ambient Ensemble will open the night with Ambient Works.

Néfur listens, sings, records and makes music with disappearing Icelandic glaciers. Through sounds of water and her singing voice, she raises awareness of the reciprocity and interdependence between humans, glaciers and water. Her work is a felt invitation to remember our kinship with glaciers, to re-align with the ancient rhythms of nature, and to reclaim creativity and joy as a collective power. Shortlisted for her field recording of Solheimajökull glacier lagoon on BBC Sound Awards 2021, Néfur has created an album composed entirely with sounds of disappearing Icelandic glaciers and her voice, called The Water, The Lover. Néfur offers meditative concerts mixing glacier sounds with her hypnotic singing voice. She recently performed at the UNOC3 in Nice, and at festivals CTM (Berlin), Sonar (Barcelona) and Spitalfields Music (London) amongst others.

Heart Map Ambient Ensemble is a minimalist instrumental group co-led by Alex Raja Ven and Andrew Noseworthy. The collective-style project seeks to bridge the gap between classical and ambient electronic music, and has featured a number of artists from the Canadian contemporary music scene. Through open arrangements and varied instrumentation, the ensemble’s approach invites experimentation, improvisation, and new media, resulting in atmospheric and engaging live performances. In August 2025, they performed at Intersection Festival, Toronto’s annual experimental music festival, described by The Globe and Mail as “a marathon of sound in the middle of traffic.”

Hundreds of students. 45 minutes. One stage transformed into a musical playground of ukuleles, harps, cellos, turntables, melodicas, guitars, steel pans, and voices raised in collective, youthful joy. this isn't your typical music recital – it’s a powerful testament to what we can create together. 

Students from Community Music Schools of Toronto (CMST) will be arranged throughout the theatre space in musical pods, creating an immersive sonic journey that surrounds the audience. Together, they'll explore Hawksley Workman's song "EVERY LITTLE VOICE" in unexpected ways, building toward a triumphant finale where everyone – performers and audience alike – becomes part of the band.

From abstract soundscapes to full musical revelation, from experimental "noise music" to pure melodic connection, You're All in the Band captures the spirit of inclusion that drives CMST's work in Jane Finch, Regent Park, and beyond.
