Join us for a Celebration of Small Ensembles – ancient, classic and 21st century music boldly curated and performed by small ensembles.
Taking place in the Aperture Room, a light filled space on the top floor of a beautifully restored building just north of Yonge and Dundas Square, each COSE event will be as much a social gathering as it will be an opportunity for musical discovery.
Each concert will feature two 45 minute sets presented by new and established artists performing music rooted in different small ensemble traditions. Events will commence at 4 pm and conclude after 6 pm and will include short stretch and chat breaks between sets. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

A Personal Journey of Being
Through sound and song, Duo Mycelia investigates the experience of navigating the vast sea of life as a conscious entity - separate yet connected. A through-composed work consisting of a collection of songs and instrumental interludes, it explores the ideas of individuality, freedom, responsibility, gratitude, loss, and catharsis. This journey is intended to be universal, yet individual - to speak to the common themes that we all grapple with in life but face in our own unique ways. Sit back, let go, and see where the journey takes you.
