SUMMARY:Pippin the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of ‘spectacle and unease’ with Play On Words Productions’ gritty reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’ Pippin\, February 26th-March 7th at the Jericho Arts Centre \nSet inside a decaying nightclub suspended between life and death\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s search for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of battle\, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. Dark\, raw\, and reckless\, this production is a haunting exploration of purpose and desire\, leaving the audience to wonder: would they choose the fire\, or walk away? \nCONTENT ADVISORY: This show includes mature themes\, sexual suggestion\, dramatized violence\, and sensory elements (lighting and sound). We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:Palace
DESCRIPTION:Palace have been making music together for over a decade. What started out as carefree jam sessions between Leo Wyndham\, Rupert Turner and Matt Hodges in an airless studio in North London established a DIY ethos that remains intrinsic to the spirit of the band to this day. \nIn early 2025\, Palace took a career leap releasing the Greyhound EP on their own label\, Palace Presents – a collective they’d started in 2016 as a monthly night at The George Tavern in East London\, which had quietly grown into something more intentional. A positive and protected space as Leo described it\, away from the usual constraints of the music industry. \n“Kid” was released in April 2026\, together with the announcement of a 30-date tour of the USA and Canada in the Fall of 2026\, culminating in a show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. \n“Kid is about longing for a child an ocean away. It’s the ache we feel for our people when we’re separated from them. It doesn’t feel like a sadness or heaviness\, but more an affirmation of that love\, a primal release sung into the sunset as the road flies by.” \nJoin us for Palace’s Chan Centre debut and experience their immersive sound brought to life on our stage.

SUMMARY:Julian Lage Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation and “one of the highest category of improvising musicians\,” (The New Yorker) Julian Lage has spent decades exploring the many strains of American music with boundless curiosity and technical mastery. With roots tangled up in jazz\, folk\, classical\, and country music\, Lage brings what The New York Times calls “a disarming spirit of generosity” to his playing\, approaching tradition as an open field for invention. \nA lifelong musician\, Lage emerged early as a singular talent. He learned the guitar at age five and was already playing onstage with Carlos Santana at eight. That same year\, he was the subject of the short documentary Jules at Eight\, showcasing his prodigious talents\, performed for the Grammy Awards as a preteen\, and later joined Gary Burton’s quartet at just 16. Rather than resting on early acclaim\, Lage has continually evolved\, recording widely as a leader and collaborating with artists including John Zorn\, Fred Hersch\, Nels Cline\, and Chris Eldridge. \nFor this concert\, he performs music from his newest album Scenes from Above\, with bassist Jorge Roeder\, drummer Kenny Wollesen\, and renowned keyboardist John Medeski. Though conceptualized by Lage\, Scenes from Above is not about him as bandleader. Instead\, he is firmly rooted as a band member within the quartet\, resulting in nine tracks that frame a brilliantly open experience. The four dazzling players give and take space in equal measure as they explore these songs in one space\, in real time. \nWitness the genius of Julian Lage live in Vancouver for an unforgettable experience. \nThis event is co-presented with Infidels Jazz as part of the VANJAZZ ’26 Jazz Festival

SUMMARY:Kelsey Lu
DESCRIPTION:Cellist\, vocalist\, and composer Kelsey Lu performs at the Chan Centre in support of So Help Me God\, their first album in seven years. \nFollowing the lush\, orchestral landscapes of their acclaimed debut Blood\, Lu’s latest work is a powerful meditation on transformation\, devotion\, grief\, and self-discovery—or what they call “a reckoning.” Their “graceful and athletic” (Stereogum) vocals blend with haunting cello\, distorted guitars\, and choral swells to create a striking interplay of light and shadow: a Caravaggio painting brought to life in sound. \nBetween Blood and So Help Me God\, Lu remained busy\, composing scores for Netflix’s award-winning documentary Daughters and A24’s BAFTA-winning Earth Mama. They also collaborated with artists including Yves Tumor\, Debbie Harry\, and Jamie xx\, while partnering with leading fashion houses such as Miu Miu and Gucci. \nSome artistic journeys are worth the wait. Don’t miss the bold\, boundary-defying creative universe of Kelsey Lu.

She possesses a rare\, magnetic ability to make a large performing arts center feel like a tight-knit\, emotional sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Hayley Sales at Guilt & Co

Her stripped back\, analogue forward\, songs and production effortlessly fuse elements of traditional pop and jazz while “radiating with a quality both intimate and powerful” (The Mirror UK). Rolling Stone praised her music as “Soulful.”

SUMMARY:anaiis
DESCRIPTION:anaiis makes the kind of music that speaks to an innate sense of wonder. Her songs explore transformation\, connection\, and the possibilities that emerge when we embrace change with curiosity and grace. \nHer latest album\, Devotion & The Black Divine\, named one of the top Albums of the Year by both BBC and Apple Music\, is a meditation on the natural world\, our inner selves\, and the power of recognizing one’s own divinity. Recorded live-to-tape in London\, the work is deeply influenced by anaiis’ new experience as a mother. She embraces softness as strength\, and the self as ever-changing. With her “gorgeous voice” that “expertly shifts from a restrained falsetto to a deep\, rich alto” (Pitchfork)\, anaiis explores what it means to be unabashedly human. \nBorn in Toulouse and raised between Dakar\, Dublin\, and Oakland\, anaiis brings a distinctly global perspective to her music. With each new release\, she traces a lineage of diasporic collaboration and cross-cultural kinship. She arrives at the Chan Centre for her Canadian debut with gentle\, powerful music\, creating a world where the ego is left outside and fear gives way to possibility. Step inside\, there’s room for all of us.

SUMMARY:Tinariwen
DESCRIPTION:10 albums and over 45 years into their storied career\, Tuareg musical pioneers and Grammy-winners Tinariwen are returning to their roots. Fierce advocates for their people’s nomadic culture that exists in the desert borderlands between Mali and Algeria\, Tinariwen’s bluesy\, guitar-driven music has found global acclaim over the past two decades for its lively blend of Tamasheq-language politicism\, syncopated rhythms and soaring melody. On Hoggar\, their tenth album\, they now stake their claim as elders of this Tuareg musical tradition\, going back to their early years of songwriting with acoustic guitars and communal singing around the desert campfire\, while also passing the torch onto a younger generation of featured musicians who can continue to keep the flame of rebellion and defiance alive. \nTypically choosing to record their albums among the arid flatness of the Central Saharan desert and tuning into the sounds of nature as they find their melodies\, recent years and the political unrest in Mali have seen the band forced to find new locations for their creativity. Founding members of the band have relocated to Algeria and when it came to making their tenth record\, they found a new home in a studio set up by younger Tuareg band Imarhan in the southern city of Tamanrasset. \nCo-presented with MODO-Live
