Back by popular demand after her stunning tribute to Joni Mitchell, acclaimed Toronto singer-songwriter Lori Cullen returns to the Aurora Cultural Centre with her signature warmth and genre-blending artistry. Known for seamlessly weaving jazz, folk, bossa nova, and orchestral pop into a uniquely personal sound, Lori performs songs from her new album The Thunder and The Bay—a bold, atmospheric work shaped by poetic songwriting and electronic textures. Joined by long-time collaborator Kurt Swinghammer and a stellar band, she’ll also revisit acoustic favourites and fan-loved covers from her diverse nine-album catalogue.
Opening the evening is Talia Schlanger, an unforgettable voice in Canada’s music landscape. Known to many as the former host of NPR’s World Cafe and CBC’s Q, Talia brings her soulful songwriting and powerhouse band—featuring Kevin Breit, Davide Di Renzo, and Brian Kobayakawa—to the stage. Her debut album Grace for the Going has drawn critical acclaim for its emotional resonance, vulnerability, and lyrical brilliance.
