SUMMARY:Art as Inspiration for the Mind
DESCRIPTION:The impetus for this dialogue is that these issues matter to us all. \nEngaging in the arts changes the course of your life and your brain. Beginning from childhood\, the arts foster mental development\, sculpt brain maturation\, and lessen the effects of poverty and social disadvantage. As we age\, art provides a buffer against cognitive decline\, allowing us to maintain an island of humanity in the face of a sea of mental\, physical and brain loss. \nJoin us for this free event with music\, dialogue & workshops hosted by Dr. Luis Fornazzari MD\, FRCPC\, Behavioural Neurology\, University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Words & Music - Joni Mitchell 6-Part Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Explore the life and music of one of the most influential and beloved singer-songwriters of all time\, Joni Mitchell with Dr. Mike Daley. \nIn this course\, we’ll do a deep dive into the career and artistic journey of this iconic artist\, from her early folk roots to her groundbreaking forays into jazz and pop. Along the way\, we’ll listen to and analyze classic songs like “Big Yellow Taxi\,” “Both Sides Now\,” and “Woodstock\,” as well as delve into the personal and cultural influences that shaped Mitchell’s unique and enduring sound. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the music of Joni Mitchell\, this course will deepen your appreciation and understanding of her enduring legacy. \nLecture Outline\nMonday\, April 17 at 10am: Early years in Canada \nJoni Mitchell was born into a middle-class family in western Canada\, growing up as an artistic and spirited child. After an unplanned pregnancy\, Joni moved to Toronto to bear a daughter (and soon give her up for adoption) and begin a career as a folk musician. We’ll examine her early years playing the coffeehouses in Yorkville and the start of her songwriting career. \nMonday\, April 24 at 10am: Joni’s breakthrough \nEven as the folk scene declined\, Joni’s engaging live performances and finely crafted songs attracted the attention of influential tastemakers and put her in the upper echelon of rock music. We’ll examine her first album Song To A Seagull\, her more accomplished follow-up\, Clouds\, and a third album\, Ladies of The Canyon\, which contained the massive radio hit\, “Big Yellow Taxi.” \nMonday\, May 1 at 10am: Rock stardom \nThe release of Blue in 1971 confirmed Joni’s legendary status in the popular music of the ’70s and cemented her image as the model of a singer-songwriter. We’ll examine the emergence of Joni’s new full band sound on her albums For The Roses and the mega-selling Court and Spark\, establishing a format that she would retain throughout the rest of her career. \nMonday\, May 8 at 10am: Jazz explorations \nHer fame assured\, Joni spent the latter half of the 1970s developing a new jazz-influenced approach to her music. She collaborated with legends like Charles Mingus\, Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny\, and produced a series of fascinating albums that never found large audiences: The Hissing Of Summer Lawns\, Hejira\, Don Juan’s Restless Daughter and Mingus. \nMonday\, May 15 at 10am: Navigating the changing pop landscape \nThe 1980s represented a sea change in the music business – and in Joni’s music too. After a return to form with her 1982 album Wild Things Run Fast\, she tried to update her sound and subject matter on Dog Eat Dog and Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm. Meanwhile\, a second marriage and a reunion with the daughter she gave up for adoption provided her with the personal stability to start revisiting her past. \n(Monday May 22 is the Victoria Day long weekend) \nMonday\, May 29 at 10am: Latest works and legacy projects \nOver the last 25 years\, Joni has balanced interesting new albums with orchestral remakes of her greatest hits. A brain aneurysm suffered in 2015 lowered her profile\, but her influence as a performer and songwriter remains huge. We’ll close the series by examining the many tributes she’s received in recent years and her enduring place in the pantheon of popular songwriters. \nCoffee will be made available during the morning lectures.

SUMMARY:Music for the Soul with Gillian Stone
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate and stripped-down performance from Gillian Stone\, whose music draws from post-rock\, folk\, ambience\, and minimalism. \nBorn and raised on the traditional territory of the Quw’utsun on Vancouver Island\, with a profound connection to her Icelandic heritage\, Stone channels the influence of outer landscapes in her inner lyrical worlds and soundscapes. Her music processes riding the waves of mental health\, particularly as it relates to dysregulation\, addiction\, shame\, relational trauma\, and dissociation. Because of this\, she speaks candidly about her lived experience through her music and expressions of artistic identity as an act of destigmatization. \n– \nOur beautiful main hall serves as the perfect backdrop for this concert – donations are welcomed\, and proceeds support the Beach United Church food programs.

SUMMARY:The Beatles and Their World: A Six-Part Lecture Series with Dr. Mike Daley
DESCRIPTION:Beach United Church presents Dr. Mike Daley\, musicologist and storyteller\, with a fascinating lecture series exploring the iconic Beatles. \nThis course will track the musical development of the Beatles\, starting from the earliest days in Liverpool\, moving through the excitement of Beatlemania\, the rush of psychedelia\, and the maturity of their studio years. While the focus will be on the music\, we will also consider how recording techniques\, the music business\, the music of other artists\, and the larger culture of the 1960s affected John\, Paul\, George\, and Ringo as they created their classic works. Bonus\, if a live lecture is missed\, a pre-recorded version is available. \nLecture Outline \n1. MONDAY OCT.17 10AM – 12 The Quarry Men\nWe’ll examine the early lives of the members of the Beatles against the larger backdrop of postwar Liverpool. Their formative cultural influences\, from Elvis and Lonnie Donegan to the Goon Show\, will also be covered. From the formation of John Lennon’s teenage band The Quarry Men through early club dates in Liverpool\, we’ll look at the roots of the Beatles. \n2. MONDAY OCT.31 10AM – 12 The Early Beatles\nThe embryonic Beatles honed their craft at tough Liverpool suburban dances\, in Hamburg\, Germany\, and at the Cavern Club. When Brian Epstein signed on as their manager in early 1962\, the wheels were set in motion for their signing with EMI Records and their first hit singles. \n3. MONDAY NOV. 7 10 AM – 12 Beatlemania through 1964\nThe Beatles conquered England in 1963 and the rest of much of the world in 1964. In this class we’ll track the halcyon days of Beatlemania\, including their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show and first film\, A Hard Day’s Night. \n4. MONDAY NOV.14 10AM-12 Transitional years – 1965-66\nIn 1965-66 the Beatles rewrote the rules of rock and roll music\, particularly in the recording studio. We’ll discuss their rapid artistic evolution in this period\, leading up to the end of their touring days and the release of their world-beating album Revolver. \n5. MONDAY NOV.21 10AM-12 Peak of creativity – 1967-68\nWith their innovative 1967 recordings including “Strawberry Fields Forever\,” the Beatles sealed their position at the top of pop music. The sudden death of their manager\, Brian Epstein\, in August 1967 threw the band into organizational turmoil. 1968 saw them creating a sprawling double album and starting their own company\, Apple. \n6. MONDAY NOV.28 10 AM-12 The Breakup – 1969-70\nThe ill-fated Get Back film project was an attempt to return to form\, but inter-band relations were in decline\, aided by drug abuse and simmering personal resentments. The final breakup was acrimonious and played out over years in the courts. Meanwhile the individual Beatles began their solo careers. We’ll discuss these later years and the Beatles’ legacy today.

SUMMARY:The Beatles and Their World: A Six-Part Lecture Series with Dr. Mike Daley
DESCRIPTION:Beach United Church presents Dr. Mike Daley\, musicologist and storyteller\, with a fascinating lecture series exploring the iconic Beatles. \nThis course will track the musical development of the Beatles\, starting from the earliest days in Liverpool\, moving through the excitement of Beatlemania\, the rush of psychedelia\, and the maturity of their studio years. While the focus will be on the music\, we will also consider how recording techniques\, the music business\, the music of other artists\, and the larger culture of the 1960s affected John\, Paul\, George\, and Ringo as they created their classic works. Bonus\, if a live lecture is missed\, a pre-recorded version is available. \nLecture Outline \n1. MONDAY OCT.17 10AM – 12 The Quarry Men\nWe’ll examine the early lives of the members of the Beatles against the larger backdrop of postwar Liverpool. Their formative cultural influences\, from Elvis and Lonnie Donegan to the Goon Show\, will also be covered. From the formation of John Lennon’s teenage band The Quarry Men through early club dates in Liverpool\, we’ll look at the roots of the Beatles. \n2. MONDAY OCT.31 10AM – 12 The Early Beatles\nThe embryonic Beatles honed their craft at tough Liverpool suburban dances\, in Hamburg\, Germany\, and at the Cavern Club. When Brian Epstein signed on as their manager in early 1962\, the wheels were set in motion for their signing with EMI Records and their first hit singles. \n3.
