Donovan Woods St. Paul's Centre, Orillia, ON Fri, Nov 6

Donovan Woods St. Paul's Centre, Orillia, ON Fri, Nov 6 - All Ages - 8:00 PM.

Donovan Woods:

Since he released his first album a decade ago, award-winning singer-songwriter Donovan Woods’ blend of folk, country and pop has resonated with audiences all over the world. 

Throughout his distinguished career, Donovan Woods has built a devoted following who cling to the acclaimed songwriter’s every word. Never one to mince words, Woods is one of music’s most vulnerable storytellers and on his latest album, Donovan takes that a step further. Honest and unflinching, on Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now, his seventh studio album released in 2024, Woods takes a long look inside and isn’t necessarily thrilled with what he sees. For an artist who isn’t afraid to bear his soul, this is as emotionally gritty as he has ever been. 

While amassing a catalogue of rousing and acclaimed music of his own, he has worked with some of the top songwriters to craft cuts for performers ranging from Tim McGraw, Ben Platt, Ashley Cooke, Barenaked Ladies, Phillip Phillips and Charles Kelley of Lady A.

WHAT TO EXPECT...

Harry Manx has spent decades carving out a singular musical path. He is known for his extraordinary ability to fuse deep blues grooves with the spiritual depth of Indian classical music. Switching effortlessly between slide guitar, harmonica, banjo, and the remarkable Mohan veena — a 20-stringed instrument taught to him by Indian master Vishwa Mohan Bhatt — Manx creates performances that are immersive, transportive, and deeply human.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY..

“A seamless fit between blues and Indian classical music” - DownBeat Magazine

“Deliciously addictive" - The New York Times

“Canada’s most expressive blues player” - Billboard Magazine

“Watching Harry play tonight I feel like I learned something new …. ” Bruce Springsteen

Harry Manx is an artist that critics have occasionally had a hard time getting their minds around. His unique amalgam of blues and other American roots music, classical Indian forms, and bits of rock, pop, and folk makes him difficult to pigeonhole, and self-appointed gatekeepers of those traditions sometimes bemoan his lack of purity, stubbornly missing the point. But Manx’s trip is really quite easy to grasp: He’s an accomplished and adventurous lap-slide guitarist – whether playing a National resonator, a solidbody lap-steel, a modified banjo or cigar-box guitar, or his signature 20-string Mohan Veena – and a compelling singer with a rich, warm, and soulful voice who writes intelligent and compassionate songs and puts them over with heartfelt conviction.” Barry Cleveland, Guitar Player Magazine

There are concerts, and then there are rare musical gatherings that feel quietly profound. Harry Manx creates the latter. This is music that doesn’t rush, doesn’t shout, and doesn’t rely on spectacle — instead, it invites you to listen deeply, feel fully, and leave changed. Audiences don’t just attend a Harry Manx show; they experience it. These nights linger long after the final note fades, becoming the kind of concert people talk about for years. If you value artistry, atmosphere, and the rare magic that happens when a room truly listens, this is a performance you’ll want to be part of!

Dmytro Garbovskyi - An Unforgettable Night of Classical Music - Sept 27

AN EVENING OF CLASSICAL MASTERPIECES!

One night. Powerfull voice. An experience you will never forget.

Opera baritone Dmytro Garbovskyi — who has graced the world’s greatest stages alongside legends like Plácido Domingo and Ferruccio Furlanetto — invites you to an intimate evening of classical music that will shake your soul to its very core.

Together with his brilliant pianist, Dmytro will bring to life the timeless masterpieces of opera and classical song — music born from love, loss, longing, and the unbreakable human spirit.

This is not just a concert. This is a rare encounter with a voice of extraordinary dramatic power — a baritone whose sound comes from the very depths of the heart. A heart that beats for his homeland Ukraine and for the children whose lives have been torn apart by war.

Every ticket supports the Pure Heart Global Mission — Dmytro’s foundation dedicated to orphans and children affected by war worldwide. (www.globalmission.biz)

🎹 Voice & Piano. Up close. Unforgettable.

We are beyond stoked to be welcoming the legendary Subhumans from the UK joined by Bad Waitress and Orillia’s Brat Stepson. Subhumans are one of the most influential bands from the UK Anarcho-Punk scene of the 80’s, filed right alongside Crass and Conflict, and just as relevant today as they were during the darkest days of Thatcher’s Britain. Take your choice in how to label them – Punk, UK82, Crusty, etc, – there lies the attraction and consequent reason for their popularity, the band epitomizes non-conformity and connects with people in many different scenes.

All proceeds from the Orillia show are going to the Orillia Youth Centre

What happens when some of the biggest music ever written for the silver screen is unleashed on a

great pipe organ?
CINEMATIC PIPES brings the excitement, drama and sheer spectacle of the movies to St. Paul's Centre in Orillia for a one-night concert featuring organist Stephen Boda, Principal Organist at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto.

Forget everything you think you know about an organ recital.

Boda will take command of St. Paul's three-manual Casavant pipe organ, transforming the instrument into an orchestra of sound for an evening filled with music from some of cinema's most unforgettable worlds.

Throughout the concert, St. Paul's two large screens and tech team will bring audiences closer to the action, offering an enhanced view of Boda at the console as he puts the three-manual Casavant through its paces.

Audiences will hear music associated with Star Wars, The Phantom of the Opera, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings and much more - music filled with heroes and villains, adventure, mystery, fantasy and larger-than-life

cinematic excitement.

For anyone who loves epic fantasy, blockbuster movies or great film scores, Cinematic Pipes offers the chance to experience that same kind of musical spectacle in an entirely different way. With thousands of pipes, an enormous range of colours and sounds, and the ability to move from a whisper to a room-shaking roar, the pipe organ may be the ultimate instrument for movie

music.

And you don't have to know anything about classical music - or pipe organs - to enjoy it.

Bring the kids. Bring a movie fan. Bring someone who has never heard a great pipe organ live!

With children 14 and under admitted free, Cinematic Pipes is designed as an accessible night out for families and a chance or a new generation to discover why the pipe organ has been called "the King of Instruments."

Orillia Silver Band! - Bright Nights! Concert- Sat June 6, 2026

Dive into Theatre and Dance with the Orillia Silver Band! - Bright Nights! Concert

 

 

Bright Nights! – Theatre and dance are in the spotlight on the new spring concert from the Orillia Silver Band.  All in the public are invited to dive in and enjoy!

 

Our Bright Nights! takes place on Saturday, June 06, 2026, 7:00 pm at the St. Paul’s Centre in Orillia.  Concert tickets are available from the Orillia Silver Band website www.orilliasilverband.com and at the door. 

 

For this event, the band has prepared two wonderful overtures from the operatic theatre repertoire:  The eye-opening “Overture to Raymond” by French composer Ambroise Thomas and the brilliant “Overture to Die Fledermaus” by Viennese composer Johann Strauss II. 

 

The musical skills of three of the band’s own soloists will be on offer in this concert as well.  Michael Fraser will be playing the tour-de-force euphonium solo “Harlequin” that is composer Philip Sparke’s tribute to the theatre.  The scintillating “Jubilance” by William Himes will be presented by the band’s solo cornetist, Jonas Feldman.  And solo hornist Rita Arendz will perform the exciting and theatrical “Variations on a Welsh Theme” by composer Peter Kneale.  None of these terrific solo showcases is to be missed!

 

Of course, music specifically targeted as popular dance selections has a place in our Bright Nights! presentation as well.  Legendary swing band leader Glenn Miller gave us all many great swing-dance tunes to enjoy forever.  Of these favourites, the band will present wonderful arrangements of “In the Mood” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000”.  Bring your dance shoes, your partner, and your energy!

 

Please put this exciting concert on your calendar.  Your help and encouragement of the band is always greatly appreciated!

We’ll see you soon at the theatre!

Why do we engage with the arts? Simply put because it makes us happy. This series explores how connecting with music, visual art, theatre, literature, and creative expression can deepen life satisfaction at every stage of life. Drawing on research, personal reflection, and real-world examples, we’ll look at how the arts enrich our emotional well-being, strengthen community, and bring meaning to our everyday experiences.
