Everywhere The Mantini Sisters go, rave reviews and standing ovations follow. Described as “Canada’s contribution to the great female trios”, Sandra, Barbara and Ann have been captivating audiences across North America with their powerful voices, humour, musical versatility and style. With a career spanning nearly three decades, The Mantini Sisters continue to win the hearts of music lovers of all ages. Their concerts feature popular songs from Swing-Jazz to Broadway and from Folk to Country. Their smooth harmonious sound brings freshness to the popular songbooks and pays tribute to the great artists of our time. As independent artists, The Mantini Sisters have co-written and produced their critically acclaimed productions of “Moments to Remember”, “The Ladies of Broadway”, “Home For the Holidays”, “The Mantini Sisters - Christmas!” and most recently, “The Mantini Sisters - Pretty World”. And if that weren’t enough, they have co-produced three CD recordings on their own label, Trio Music. “Moments to Remember”, released in 1997, was recorded at the Glen Gould Studio in Toronto; followed by “The Mantini Sisters – Christmas”, released in 2004; and most recently, “Pretty World”, released in 2012. Recognized for their showmanship, they were recipients of the Niagara Music Awards for Best Theatrical Performance, and have had the opportunity to work and share the stage with some of Canada’s best artists, musicians and symphony orchestras. This dynamic trio along with their cohort of phenomenal musicians, continue to perform for concert-series, out-door music festivals, private, corporate and special events, including performances at Bryant Park in New York City at the invitation of Ontario Tourism and the City of Niagara Falls. Most recently, they were featured in Drayton Entertainment‘s smash-hit, Big Band Legends and in December, have been invited back with their “Mantini Sisters Christmas” and encore performances in Big Band Legends for their 2013 season. Learn what thousands of people already know, The Mantini Sisters are a polished and professional act that sing with beauty, power, humour and theatrical drama. You are sure enjoy an extraordinary evening of musical entertainment and laughter as only presented by the charismatic, Mantini Sisters.

One of the most exciting bands around, the Toronto All-Star Big Band revives the spirit style and sound of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s – that golden age of the big bands. Armed with brilliant programming, choreography and engaging cultural nostalgia, this vibrant cast of awesome young talent has earned its position at the top of list of presenters throughout Ontario and in the USA. Theatrical engagements are far reaching, and recent gigs have included the Glenn Miller festival in Clarinda Iowa, the Villages and the Snowbird Extravaganza in Florida, the Muskoka Lakes Music Festival, Beaches International Jazz Festival, Art Park in Lewiston N.Y. and Toronto’s famed Palais Royale, Casa Loma and the Old Mill. At the heart of the musical matter, the TABB provides one of the most intense and stimulating youth music programs in Canada. Behind their extraordinary entertainment, they engage cream of the crop young musicians from across the GTA in a rigorous regime of rehearsals, workshops and fantastic skill-building performance experiences with such international stars as Clark Terry, Doc Severinsen, Cleo Laine and John Dankworth, Eddie Daniels and Larry Elgart. The band has also worked with wonderfully talented Canadians…Peter Appleyard, Oliver Jones, Ranee Lee, Tommy Ambrose, Phil Nimmons and the great Jackie Richardson. In June 2009 TABB had the great pleasure of performing with Legend Benny Golson. His gifts of music will “no soon be forgotten”. All of these wonderful performers are a part of TABB’s legend series and have graciously shared their talents with these young musicians. The Toronto All Star Big Band has previously performed at the Bandshell in 2009 and 2012. Click here for The Toronto All Star Big Band Website
