Entertainment includes:
| Darbazi |
Known as Toronto's village choir, the more than two dozen singers bring the music of the Georgian Republic, from rowdy horse-riding songs to ballads and hymns. |
| Isshin Daiko |
Isshin Daiko ("One Heart" in English) plays an energetic brand of traditional and original intrumental music, interpreting Japanese melodies in a pleasing blend of rhythm and melody. The nine musicians, under leader Gary Kiyoshi Nagata who studied with the renowned Kodo drummers of Japan, play traditional Japanese drums, flutes and cymbols. |
| The Hot Five Jazzmakers |
A band with a fun approach to "good-time" jazz, the Hot Five are known for their versatility within the traditional jazz idiom. They will be playing classic jazz of the 20s and 30s. |
Adam Vaughan will be Master of Ceremonies. The evening will be dedicated to a celebration of the life of loyal customer and friend, Colin Vaughan.
This event is by invitation only. Pick up your invitations from any St. Lawrence Market Merchant. Free validated parking at the City parking lot off Market Street, south of the Market.
The Future of the North Market Building
Preliminary discussions are underway between the City, the SLNA and other interested parties about the possibilities for making better use of the North Market site. The City has set up an Initiative Room on the west side of the North Market, showing the North Market as it was, is and might have been. The room is currently staffed part-time, but you can look in the windows other times. More information when it's available.
