Of The Sea was the first Tapestry show I was involved with as a staff member and it blew me away! It was so inspiring to see such a “first of its kind work” that blended a beautiful story, traditional mythology, and modern themes seamlessly.

I am a composer, singer, songwriter and percussionist! I studied composition for my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the University of Toronto and was named one of CBC’s 30 Under 30 Classical Musicians in 2023. Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of performing as a percussionist with Samba Toronto and exploring Brazil’s rich musical tradition.

I love how central the new venue is, and biking to work has been a true delight.

I’m going to second Michael and say Wozzeck! I just saw the COC’s production of it (24/25 season) and was mesmerized by the unique use of projection, film, and surrealist imagery in the set.
