SUMMARY:201 Summer Concert: CAR287
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 201 Portage Plaza on Thursdays in June\, July\, and August for our summer concert series from noon to 1 pm. (Rain location: 201 Concourse). \nWhere plaid shirts meet leather jackets and Lululemons\, you’ll find CAR287—a band that defies genre gravity. With influences ranging from Muse to The Tragically Hip (with John Fogerty somewhere in between)\, this Winnipeg-born group started in 2014 as a basement cover band and grew into a powerhouse of original rock. \nAfter years of gigs—from backyard BBQs to full-blown galas—and a pandemic-fueled writing spree\, they ditched the covers and cracked open a Pandora’s box of riffs\, hooks\, and unexpected lyrical turns. Their debut album Through the Lens\, dropping September 20\, 2025\, is a genre-blending journey recorded at Winnipeg’s iconic Private Ear Studios. \nExpect booming vocals (Jay)\, ripping solos (Travis)\, thunderous bass (Terry)\, and relentless drums (Ryan). CAR287 is living proof that cover bands can evolve – and no\, they won’t play Here for a Good Time (again)\, even though it’s a good song.

SUMMARY:Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra: Havrylets & Dvořák UnTuxed
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of powerful contrasts and profound emotions with Havrylets & Dvořák UnTuxed. The performance opens with Hanna Havrylets’s Chorale for Strings\, a deeply moving piece that blends lament and hope\, reflecting the composer’s Ukrainian heritage. Havrylets\, who passed away shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022\, imbues this work with a poignant sense of longing and resilience. \nThe program continues with Antonin Dvorák’s Symphonic Variations\, a masterpiece of melodic invention and orchestral color. Dvorák transforms a simple theme into a series of intricate and beautiful variations while demonstrating the versatility and skill of the WSO. This piece is celebrated for its melodic charm and the delightful way it explores and develops musical ideas.

SUMMARY:Brianna Wentz | Warpaint
DESCRIPTION:Brianna Wentz | Warpaint\nOctober 31 – December 14\, 2024\nVagina Witchcraft Performance: Thursday\, October 31st from 7:00-10:00pm\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 1st from 5-9 pm\nArtist Talk and Livestream: Saturday\, November 2nd from 1-2 pm \nA symbol of sex\, controversy\, and rock n’ roll—excessive\, depraved\, and worshipped without restraint—the Demon embodies every freedom and whim denied to women and gender-diverse people. Warpaint releases the demon in the metalhead fangirl\, who is no longer a passive fan\, but a rockstar in their own right. Rather than being possessed by the music\, alluding to religious ecstasy and demonic possession\, the fan becomes the demon themselves\, challenging oppression and normativity in the scene.\nThis shift speaks to a deeper issue faced by Indigenous\, Black\, and other racialized people—the constant expectation to be strong and resilient. We are told we are resilient\, but why should we always have to be? Centuries of intergenerational trauma\, compounded by everyday racism and sexism\, demand a space where sorrow\, fear\, desire\, and rage can be unleashed. Enter metal\, punk\, and rock n’ roll.\nThese spaces provide an outlet for BIPOC and queer metalheads to build community and reclaim their identities. By honoring punk values\, kinship is cultivated\, because the mere presence of racialized and gender-diverse people in these scenes—and their very existence in a post-colonial society—is metal as fuck. Warpaint depicts these kin in all their unleashed deadliness.\nYet\, racialized women and non-binary people remain underrepresented in metal. Few figures exist in these scenes with whom they can identify. There continues to be undercurrents of white supremacy\, sexism\, and homophobia in factions of metal and punk. Black Metal\, known for its iconic corpse paint\, has been shaped by musicians who openly supported white supremacist ideologies and homophobic hate crimes. These works seek to confront and dismantle such ideologies by depicting the power of the bodies and spirits they seek to destroy.\nThrough this process\, the works in Warpaint empower them to ‘be their own heroes.’ As Leila Taylor writes in Darkly\, “the process of dehumanization is a process of monster-making. But monsters have power.” Being cast as the outsider has created a strength to confront\, reclaim\, and reshape metal by by embracing a raw\, deadly\, and unapologetically defiant spirit—showing that women\, non-binary\, and BIPOC voices lead the scene.
