Mothers of Brides – The Crucible
November 26, 2010
There’s something about those girls- those girls who play music, the ones bundled and wrapped- their once bronzed skin fades and fades into milky whites as the entire city of Toronto slips into it’s needed hibernation. These girls, much like
Mothers of Brides – Lullaby
November 26, 2010
Seeing music in everything- the outer edges of wine glasses, rustling leaves, whatever they could find to carrying their harmonies through that afternoon. The props for their play are no match for their own sincerity. They’re not trying to be

November 26, 2010

Nadia von Hahn – Maybe It’s The Moonlight
November 1, 2010
This BC native brings that theatrical majesty to her performance in the park- it’s the kind of presence that begs for the summer to stay a little while longer. words by Nada Alic myspace.com/nadiavonhahn
Nadia von Hahn – Morning
November 1, 2010
When I close my eyes and listen to Nadia Von Hahn a certain underused word comes to mind: enchanted. It’s a word I stopped using when referring to forests, and Disney movies- but it holds no less truth. She postures
