Performing Arts Sunday Series

World-Class Artists in Hamilton, Ontario

Our classical music series, a beloved tradition for over two decades, evolved in 2021 into the Performing Arts Sunday Series (PASS).

​

This transformation expanded the program beyond its roots in live classical music, incorporating complementary theatre and dance performances to engage contemporary audiences in dynamic new ways.

​

Over the years, the series has welcomed internationally acclaimed artists including the Tokyo String Quartet, Adrianne Pieczonka, Janina Fialkowska, Anton Kuerti, Valerie Tryon, and Halina Czerny-Stefańska, whose performances have helped shape its legacy of artistic excellence.

​

PASS continues to honour the tradition of live music while shining a spotlight on modern issues through multidisciplinary works that blend sound, movement, and storytelling.

​

Bringing world-renowned artists to Hamilton at accessible costs, this innovative series offers a fresh and thought-provoking experience, bridging classical traditions with the themes and challenges of today’s world.
