If you love acoustic guitar, then this is a Sunday evening event not to miss!

Santucci Solo - 26th Anniversary of the album's release.

From the album:
Feel the soul in every string. Gary Santucci pours heart into Santucci Solo – jazz, blues, pure emotion. Grab your moment, hit play, just listen online. No flash, just truth in each note. You can download it and let it ride with you on quiet nights or long drives. It’s raw, warm, kinda makes you miss things you’ve never even lost. Funny how music does that.

Sunday, 24th May 2026, 7 p.m.
Fellowship Hall, Annesley, Markdale
Tapas and beverage will be offered.
Suggested $20 at-the-door or pay what you can.

He has reserved Vivialdi (Sonata No. 5 in e minor, Op. 14) for a collaboration between the Casavant and Sebastian’s cello, and together later in the program, with the quartet for Handel (Organ Concerto No. 4 in F, Op. 4). The Garden Quartet will focus on pieces by Ann Southam (Song of the Varied Thrush, 1991) and Aline Homzy (King’s Garden, 2015 — Aline performed in concert with James Brown and Clark Johnston at Annesley in our 2023 season).
