*Xenia Concerts & TO Live present: An Adaptive Concert with Mâmawin’towin: A Métis Kitchen Party!*
An acoustic concert experience inspired by the Métis kitchen party tradition—where music, stories, and community come together.
The title Mâmawin’towin, meaning “together” in Michif, reflects the heart of the performance: gathering through music and shared story.
Co-led by celebrated Métis fiddler Alyssa Katrine and acclaimed Métis singer-songwriter Amanda Rheaume, the performance blends lively fiddle tunes with powerful songwriting and storytelling that bring Métis history to life. Joined by Danton Delbaere-Sawchuk (cello, guitar, vocals) and Kyler Tapscott (guitar, vocals), the ensemble creates a rich acoustic sound that moves seamlessly between spirited dance tunes and heartfelt songs.
A family-friendly concert that embraces neurodiversity and disability. Therapy dogs provided by One Health Partners.
