Axé WorldFest present
P O L K Y
Canada's women-led Eastern European folk band playing live at the Fourth Stage - NAC
Saturday, January 21 2023
Doors at 8pm / Show 8:30pm
Toronto's own Polky was created by courageous Polish ladies, singer Ewelina Ferenc, dancer Ala Stasiuk, and multi-instrumentalist Marta Solek. Polky, meaning "Polish women," came together through a shared passion for Eastern European music's enigmatic and upbeat style. Joined by Canadian musicians, Polky brings its original sound to Eastern European traditional music by adding a uniquely Canadian and multicultural flavour. Polky takes you on a musical journey to Poland, the melting pot of Eastern and Central Europe, with Ukrainian, Jewish, and Slovak musical influences!
The band performed at the Danforth Music Hall, opening for Lemon Bucket Orkestra and Boogát, the Aga Khan Museum, Polish and Ukrainian Festivals, Summerfolk Festival, Ashkenaz Festival, Memoires et Racines Festiva, Sunfest Festival, and it was an official showcasing artist at Folk Music Ontario and Folk Alliance International promoting Polish and Eastern European folk. Their first EP, Immigration (2018), was inspired by Polish traditional music from the Mazovia region, Polish mountains, immigration to Canada, and... Led Zeppelin! Their debut album, Songs From Home (2020), described by Songlines Magazine as an "energetic wilderness," celebrates the multicultural city of Toronto and the band's Polish roots. It was nominated for Canadian Folk Music Awards 2022 in three categories and won the Traditional Singer of The Year Award for Ewelina Ferenc.
This event is possible by Heritage Canada.

Tickets:
https://events.com/.../raphael-weinroth--yarns-ottawa...
Two of Ottawa's most exciting instrumental solo artists converge for an evening of next-level live looping, experimental soundscapes and string wizardry...

Raphael Weinroth-Browne
Internationally renowned Canadian cellist and composer Raphael Weinroth-Browne has been celebrated for his emotive and virtuosic playing both on stage and in the studio.

Raphael has appeared on over 150 full-length studio albums, including the Juno Award-winning W5: Grey Skies and Electric Light by Woods of Ypres.
In 2020, Raphael’s debut solo album, Worlds Within was released to critical acclaim.
In 2022, Raphael played 60 shows in the US with Norwegian prog icons Leprous, performed at London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall, and appeared on opening slots for rock heavyweights Evanescence, Devin Townsend, and Apocalyptica.
www.raphaelweinrothbrowne.com

Yarns
Yarns is the solo act of composer/sound-designer Martin Dawagne. Rather than a collection of tracks, the music of Yarns is a succession of sound paintings and meditative prose about escapism and removal. The pieces performed in the set transform from cinematic/ethereal moments to noisy/distorted epics.
