Mark your calendars for a powerful climate-themed performance coming to Ottawa in October!

CAFES is excited to bring to you Wanting to Start Again, a unique musical experience that addresses climate change concerns in a poignant and powerful violin-piano performance.

DoSi, a duo of exceptional musicians, pianist Tong Wang and violinist Maitreyi Muralidharan, will deliver this deeply moving program born out of the artists’ experience with the devastation of the Banff and Halifax wildfires, the climate crisis, immigrant stories, and discovering identity. This interactive concert featuring works by Fu-Tong Wong, Nick Bentz, Fazil Say, Joe Hisaishi/Wesley Chu and Kevin Lau, provides a space for audiences to reflect, sit with difficult emotions, and ask: how do we start again when we feel at our lowest?

DoSi will be touring through Ottawa from October 17-19th 2025 and CAFES is honoured to be co-hosting a number of performances - see below!

• October 17th, 7:00 - 9:00 pm at St. James United Church in the Glebe
• October 18th, 7:00 - 9:00 pm at St. Paul's United Church in Carp
• October 19th, 1:00 - 3:00 pm at the United Church in Manotick
