Live stream on YouTube: Friday, June 11 at 8PM
An all-new season of concerts taped behind closed doors at the Shenkman Arts Centre begin airing tonight in a 2-hour YouTube special. Lynne Hanson, Catriona Sturton, Kristine St-Pierre, Kimberly Sunstrum, Jessica Pearson & The East Wind, Miguel de Armas Quartet, John Kofi Dapaah, Orchidae, Pithra, and MonkeyJunk are just some of the 23 Ottawa music acts that were booked to play sets in the empty 500-seat venue. This page of production safety notes describes how the camera crew used cranes and robotic cameras to shoot the performers from a distance.
Following tonight’s YouTube Watch Party, the 16 concerts will air in full on Rogers TV (cable and free streaming) in weekly double-headers through spring 2021.
