JAMES BROWN & MIKE MILLIGAN (PATIO)
7.00

James Brown (electric guitar/compositions) and Mike Milligan (double bass) have
been performing together for over 15 years.
As veterans of the Canadian music scene these two musicians breathe a fresh
approach into the art of collective improvisation.
They build on a tradition established by such jazz luminaries as Jim Hall, Bill Frissell, Scott Lafaro, Dave Holland, and many more. With this as a starting point
they create a sound and style "of their own" by playing music that is positively
influenced by a variety of genres.
The instrumental blend of electric guitar and double bass form a pallet of tonal
possibilities that extend beyond the reach of the average jazz ensemble. Their
sound travels along a wide spectrum ranging from impossibly quiet and gentle to aggressively intense.
These two musicians keep a constant focus on re-creating the music, not just
playing the music the "way it was played before".
In so doing James and Mike bring an exciting and diverse presentation that is
enjoyed by all who to hear them live.

fundraising to support LGBTQ+ organization in Russia

We are excited to plan this event in support of LGBTQ+ people in Russia and EECA region. 

Queendom is a critically acclaimed 2023 documentary film directed and co-written by Russian filmmaker Agniia Galdanova. 

Art is her armor. Survival is her masterpiece. Born in a frigid former Soviet gulag outpost, 21-year-old queer artist Gena Marvin refuses to be silenced by Russia’s draconian anti-LGBTQ laws. By transforming her body into towering, otherworldly silhouettes made from trash and duct tape, Gena wages a visually stunning, high-stakes psychological war on the streets of Moscow. Shortlisted for the Academy Awards, Queendom is an intimate, explosive portrait of subversion, family friction, and the ultimate cost of living authentically.
