SUMMARY:Where Have All the Buffalo Gone?
DESCRIPTION:This compelling play by Tai Amy Grauman offers a powerful and poetic journey through pivotal moments in Métis history. This intimate\, 50-minute performance follows two souls as they traverse seven important moments in Métis history—beginning with the birth of Métis nations on the plains\, through the fur trade and the disappearance of the buffalo\, to the rise of the Métis Association of Alberta. The story weaves together historical events\, cultural memory\, and a life-like buffalo puppet to celebrate love\, loss\, resilience\, and the rich lessons carried by the buffalo. \nStaged in the intimate Studio B at Gateway Theatre\, this production uses vivid storytelling\, striking visual elements\, and dynamic physical performance to honour Métis traditions\, and sparks meaningful conversations about identity\, culture\, and belonging. Adds Barbara Tomasic\, Gateway Theatre Executive Artistic Director\, “Where Have All the Buffalo Gone? has been a huge hit across Canada\, and we are thrilled to bring this beautiful story to Gateway for our Family Day show.”

SUMMARY:Maktoub | Oriental Jazz Night
DESCRIPTION:Maktoub is an original instrumental project composed and led by internationally recognized oud virtuoso Ahmed Maher. \nRooted in Arabic maqam and in conversation with jazz form\, the music unfolds through a balance of composed structures and live improvisation. Written material offers a frame\, while improvisation opens space for risk\, presence\, and collective authorship to reshape the music in real time. \nThe title maktoub\, meaning “written” or “destined” in Arabic\, names a central paradox of the work: what feels predetermined is continuously rewritten through encounter. Borders\, whether musical or cultural\, are treated not as fixed lines but as permeable spaces where new identities and shared experiences can emerge. \nRecorded between Cairo and Vancouver\, Maktoub draws from Maher’s lived experience of movement\, displacement\, and belonging. The music reflects an ongoing inner process\, where memory and immediacy coexist\, and where the idea of “home” remains fluid and evolving. \nThis performance offers a rare pre-release glimpse of the project ahead of the album launch in June 2026\, presented in an intimate setting that foregrounds listening\, interaction\, and the energy of live creation. \nFeaturing: \nAhmed Maher | Oud \nGeoff Claridge | Bass Clarinet \nConrad Good | Double Bass \nAtin Cheraghchi | Percussions

SUMMARY:Ebony Roots Concert
DESCRIPTION:This powerful concert celebration of music from the Black experience traces a 300-year journey—from work songs and spirituals to the rise of Soul\, R&B\, Blues\, and Motown. The program highlights the evolving emancipation and cultural impact of African Descent communities from a North American perspective. \nBoth entertaining and insightful\, the concert is framed with intention and meaning. It is a full music experience filled with transformative songs – all accompanied by brief contextual narratives that explores how each song or artist moved the needle forward—or\, at times\, backward—for the Black community. These unspoken stories are more of a side show\, rather than the main event\, and are shared through the digital program and stage projections. Performed by a professional ensemble of BC artists\, the concert centres Black lived experience through the centuries up to and including the civil rights movement.
