We’re honoured to host the legendary Jane Siberry for a one-of-a-kind performance as part of our Music @ The Museum concert series this fall.

Known for her poetic lyricism and genre-defying artistry, Siberry’s music has long captivated audiences with its emotional depth and spiritual resonance. This special evening offers a rare chance to see her up close in the warm, intimate setting of our beautifully restored Heritage Church.
Seating is very limited—advance tickets are strongly recommended. READ MORE.
