| Astonish Me Max Webster - Mutiny up my sleeve 
|
| I've been playing Max Webster tracks ALL SUMMER in tribute to my Best Radio Friend Forever, Trish Bolechowsky. And guess what friends... WE DID IT! The entire Max Webster catalog will have been played by the end of this show. What a ride!
Moving forward, I can either stop playing Max altogether, or continue sneaking them into shows every week. I think the choice is clear. |

The OSO frequently features area musicians as soloists and is committed to giving opportunities to emerging and established local, regional and Canadian talent. We don’t shy away from the exciting, monumental works of the 19th and 20th centuries that take full advantage of our large and harmonically rich ensemble of musicians. At all our performances, you’ll experience work by at least one Canadian composer. Through a longstanding arrangement with the University of Ottawa, our mentorship program affords young musicians the opportunity to perform with our professional orchestra over the course of their degree. During the past months, we’ve also created a new web series, sharing archival recordings for the very first time. About Music.Art.Ppl: Music.Art.Ppl is about encouraging artists to share and collaborate with each other. They have been curating events across the Nation's Capital for the last four plus years, providing a space where artists from different backgrounds can come together and create. Since its inception in 2016 Music.Art.Ppl has supported hundreds of local artists and musicians by providing an arena where local makers can interact with the public.
