Harmony House

Two unique concerts kick off the 2025 Summer Season at Harmony House­—Behind the Veil: A Lucy Maud Concert Experience and Ladies of the Canyon.

In Behind the Veil: A Lucy Maud Concert Experience, Alicia Toner and Mike Ross create a concert experience that examines the life and soul of one of Canada’s most iconic and enduring authors—Lucy Maud Montgomery. 

Island Songwriters were commissioned to compose original music inspired by L.M. Montgomery’s letters, diary entries, and poetry. This unique Harmony House production will pull back the veil to reveal who Maud really was. 

Featuring Brielle Ansems, Carlie Howell, Julain Molnar, with Max Gallant on drums—as well as Alicia and Mike, this tight knit ensemble will bring to life the spirit of a beloved Canadian icon.

There will be only five performances of Behind the Veil, with matinee performances on June 11 and 14 at 2 pm, and evening performances on June 12, 13, and 14 at 8 pm.

In the world premiere of Ladies of the Canyon, Alicia Toner and Mike Ross have created one of Harmony House’s signature docu-concerts, taking audience members on a deep dive into the music of this unique time and place.

Joni Mitchell, Mama Cass, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Carole King, The Eagles—these are just a handful of the extraordinary songwriters who took up residence in the legendary neighbourhood of Laurel Canyon in California. Located just outside Los Angeles, this artist commune created a musical alchemy that birthed some of the greatest songs and artists of the 20th century. 

Featuring four of Atlantic Canada’s most electric women—Brielle Ansems, Robin Anne Ettles, Alicia Toner and Emilea May—this distinguished quartet will tell the story of this time in music history and celebrate the songs that came out of Laurel Canyon. Young up and coming performer, Emi Smith, will be stepping in to cover various roles on select dates through the summer.

Ladies of the Canyon will be performed on select dates from June 18 to September 6.
