Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to relax and unwind to the sounds of live jazz in nature. See you there!

Known not only for her dynamic performance, but also as a great vocal technician, Tanya brings a sensual and evocative sound to her musical interpretations. She has performed in a great number of Toronto’s most popular Jazz venues such as Hugh’s Room, Jazz Bistro and Hirut, and is one of the featured vocalists for The Wintergarten Orchestra, a Toronto based, 11 piece Vintage Jazz Ensemble – a sensational band for her to flex her Cabaret muscles, and to add her German and French repertoire. With her Quartet, Tanya brings her unique sound to the stage with three of her favourite gentlemen – master musicians, Bill Bridges, Ron Johnston and Kevin Coady. Dive into the rich tapestry of experience and emotion with SHE, a groundbreaking concept album that celebrates the strength, resilience, and depth of the female experience. Each track is a chapter in a larger narrative, crafted from personal reflections and observations, and infused with a blend of original music that draws on a diverse array of influences. From introspective ballads to empowering anthems, SHE weaves together stories of love, struggle, triumph, and self-discovery. The album's soundscape is a fusion of genres, blending heartfelt lyrics with innovative arrangements. This album is not just a collection of songs—it's a journey through the myriad experiences that shape our lives, told through a uniquely feminine lens. Let SHE guide you through an evocative exploration of identity, connection, and the power of shared voices. Information Source: Whispering Springs | eventbrite

For two days please join Mia of Oblik Atelier at the Haven Spa for a trunk show. You can book a treatment and pamper yourself and shop a curated collection of jewelry. Mia Hebib jewelry is defined by polarities of hard and soft. Mia is transforming metal, inherently rigid and hard material, into fluid, graceful, sculptural jewelry and objects. Her hand-crafted pieces, while abstract in nature, draw from observing the shapes around her found in architecture, urban and natural detritus, and human interactions. She is curious about the relationship of what her mind perceives and what her hands can produce. Oblik Atelier is an intimate studio where each piece is produced by Mia, and the work is as much about personal connection as it is about function. “Oblik Atelier” means “form studio” in Croatian, reflecting the conversation around sinuous shapes that conform and complement the body. Each November, NYC Jewelry Week proudly presents ‘The Week,’ a 7-day celebration dedicated to the art of jewelry. This annual event invites a global audience to explore the world of jewelry through a dynamic mix of in-person and virtual experiences, spanning New York City and beyond.
