EVERLASTINGNESS: Micah Schroeder, Stéphane Mayer & Brenna Hardy-Kavanagh Live at the Tranzac
EVERLASTINGNESS – Micah Schroeder, Stéphane Mayer & Brenna Hardy-Kavanagh live at the TranzacJune 28, 2025/ 7:30pmTranzac Club, 299 Brunswick Ave, Toronto, M5S 2M7Event is pay what you can with 3 tiers: reduced ($15), Recommended ($30), Supporter ($50)/ No age restriction ACCESSABILITY & VENUE INFORMATION: A cement ramp leads up to the double-door entrance with a threshold of 1 inch. Once inside, there is a spacious, tiled entryway leading to three different rooms. Although the venue offers no automatic features, each venue room has double door entrances. Drinks are available at the bar, which is 44 inches tall. Staff were very friendly and commented that accommodations could be made to bring drinks to a table. The floor was carpeted with a thin, flat carpet. All chairs and tables (27 – 29 inches high) were easy to move. Next we entered the intimate, living room-style Tiki Room. Again, the floors were carpeted and the chairs and tables were removeable to accommodate for the changing rental space. The Main Hall flooring is tiled, and the room features the main stage and a 44 inch bar. Men and women’s bathrooms are located on the main floor, with push doors that swing inside revealing one accessible stall in each room. Although the stall doors each measure 36 inches wide, the entrance into the bathrooms is 32 inches. Each accessible stall door swings outwards, and contains two grab bars around the toilets. Sink height is 29 inches with plenty of clearance space underneath. The hand drier is motion censored and at an appropriate height. It was suggested that the table in the photo below be removed from inside the stall for more maneuvering space. Beside the venue there is a small paid parking lot however, it might fill up on busy nights. The nearest Green P is located at 351 Lippincott Street and the nearest accessible subway station is Bathurst station on Line 2. Micah Schroeder and Stéphane Mayer will perform a recital with violist Brenna Hardy-Kavanagh at the Tranzac Club in Toronto in June 2025. This concert presents a dynamic mix of classical and contemporary works, emphasizing queer Canadian composers as well as works exploring themes of Armenian heritage and genocide.My Armenian grandmother fled the horrors of the Armenian Genocide as a young girl and sought refuge in the United States. In the turbulent cultural landscape of the early 20th century, many traditions and languages were lost in the push for assimilation. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away before I was born, and my mother never learned the language, leaving our connection to our Armenian heritage fragile. Through my music, I hope to rekindle that bond—using it as a means to reconnect with the language, history, and culture of my ancestors.Throughout my career, I’ve felt pressure to conform to traditional masculine norms to fit the stereotypical baritone archetype, not only as a character but also as my performance persona—a dynamic shaped by the heteronormative, male-dominated gaze of classical music. My projects seek to break free from these limitations by creating spaces where queer people, including myself, can be fully seen and celebrated. By curating performances that feature queer artists and stories, I aim not only to offer representation but also to heal, bringing my true self to the forefront of my artistic practice.Each piece contributes to the overarching themes of identity, memory, and displacement: RECITAL PROGRAM (60 minutes):1. Recuerdo, (Loren)2. Involuntary Love Songs (Morlock)3. Lieder und Gesänge aus Wilhelm Meister (Schumann)4. Armenian Folk songs (Komitas)5. Everlastingness (Kouyoumdjian)6. Banalités (Poulenc)7. Annabel Lee (Mayer)A highlight of the concert is Kouyoumdjian’s “Everlastingness,” which explores the trauma of a Armenian painter Arshile Gorky in America post-genocide. This work is relevant today, addressing diaspora, trauma, and resilience.The Tranzac Club’s unconventional space aligns with my mission to break barriers in classical music, making it accessible to broader audiences. As queer artists, Stéphane, Danika, and I strive to weave our identities into our art, elevating queer voices within classical music. This project combines Canadian contemporary music, queer artistry, and cultural storytelling, pushing the boundaries of performance. Instagram: @mj.penguino
