2024-09-19 18:00 - 21:00 UTC | 918 Bathurst: Culture, Arts, Media & Education, 918 Bathurst Street, Toronto, ON, M5R 3G5, Canada
Kundalini Activation awakens the dormant power within you. This transmission of life force energy is safe and allows you to awaken the pure life force energy that is within you and the cosmos.
Allow the Kundalini Activation to connect you deeper with your energetic body that can help you expand consciousness, grow deeper awareness of your thoughts and behaviours, gain perceptions and make choices that align to your truest potential.
Dr Joe Dispenza, a neuroscience researcher says, “Our life begins to change when we change our energy, and we begin to take our power back.” “When you change your energy, you change your life.”

2024-10-16 20:00 - 22:00
The spinning of a record envelopes our sanctuary space using the all-new multi-channel ATMOS surround system.
For night two of X Avant XIX: TeXture, sounds scatter around and envelop the Music Gallery as Exit Points takes over the space for the launch of their first vinyl record, “You Are The Right Length”, with a 12-channel surround sound listening experience. Recorded performances by 7 Toronto-based improvisation ensembles are diffused live throughout speakers that encircle listeners.

Music Gallery Presents: X Avant XIX – Weave
2024-10-17 18:00 - 20:00
A braid of dance and music exploring the intricacies of texture in nature.
While night three of X Avant XIX: TeXture splits into two separate features of movement and later sound, both converge to reveal the spectrums and geometries that lay within nature. The first part of the night features Mossbelly offering gestures of dance and performance that gently tap, pitter-patter, and slide across the floor in reverence to a fuzzy friend from nature. This intergenerational performance is a choreographic meditation on our human connection to land, plant life, nature, and time.
Admission to Mossbelly (Weave, Part 1) is free or by donation. Advance registration is available.
As Mossbelly’s performance opens the night, if you want to spend the full evening with the Music Gallery be sure to get your tickets for Weave, Part 2 featuring Rafael Toral and Nyda Kwasowsky (doors at 8:00 pm, performance at 8:30 pm).

Music Gallery Presents: X Avant XIX – Weave Part 2
2024-10-17 20:00 - 22:00
A braid of dance and music exploring the intricacies of texture in nature.
While night three of X Avant XIX: TeXture splits into two separate features of movement and later sound, both converge to reveal the spectrums and geometries that lay within nature. Following the sunset for the second part of the night, Rafael Toral blends ambient, experimental electronics, and rock via electric guitar to create spaces for silence. Focused on disconnecting listeners from information and sensory overload, he encourages reconnection with sacredness, presence, and the land.
Opening the evening in our gallery room is a looped audio and dance presentation by artist Nyda Kwasowsky exploring textile, tradition, and sound.
These performances are the second part of the evening (doors at 8:00 pm, performance at 8:30 pm), and it is a ticketed event.
If you want to start your evening at the Music Gallery earlier, you may also register for Weave, Part 1 for free or by donation. The first part of the night features Mossbelly with a movement-based performance that opens the night (doors 5:30 pm, performance at 6:00 pm).

Derek Gripper Live in Concert
2024-10-30 19:30 - 23:00
“A New African String Theory” with Derek Gripper is not just a concert; it’s an immersive musical exploration that bridges continents and genres. As a globally renowned South African guitarist, Gripper has rewritten the narrative of classical guitar by infusing it with the captivating sounds of the West African kora, a 21 stringed harp.
Gripper’s transformative journey began with the release of “One Night on Earth,” his translations of the music of kora virtuoso Toumani Diabaté. Celebrated classical guitarist John Williams said it seemed “absolutely impossible until I heard Derek Gripper do it,” leading to collaborations with this icon of the guitar at London’s Shakespeare’s Globe, as well as a collaboration with Toumani Diabaté at The Festival Acoustik in Bamako, Mali. Even Gripper’s debut at the revered Carnegie Hall saw him performing alongside Mali’s Trio da Kali, an endorsement of his revolutionary approach.
Recent recordings like “A Year of Swimming,” “Billy Goes to Durban,” and his latest album with kora master Ballaké Sissoko, introduce original compositions and improvisations, each a testament to his dedication to evolving and challenging his musical style. Moreover, his recordings of the solo works of J.S. Bach have been a fascinating study in the symbiosis of African music and early European melodies, revealing the freedom and universality of one of Europe’s great improvising musicians.
“A New African String Theory” captures the essence of the human experience in the importance of rediscovering ourselves through dialogue.
Special note: The great Malian kora player Toumani passed away unexpectedly in July of 2024. To commemorate the passing of one of Africa’s great virtuosos, Derek will perform the five compositions off Toumani’s debut album “Kaira” in a brand new, never before performed, rendition of these classics of the West African repertoire.

BFSA’s Tailoring Black Style Fashion show explores the purpose and power of Black fashion beyond the constraints of colonial and white gaze ideals.

We are inviting five designers (Max Twum-Antwi, Uwadiunor Ife, Mufaro, Navern Nash-Longshaw, and Tony Digba) to respond to these provocations and redefine what tailoring Black style means to them. By highlighting Black culture beyond assimilation, this show affirms that Black creativity is limitless, untamed, and unapologetically self-defined.
