Measha this week!

World-renowned soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee is presenting her latest album Zombie Blizzard at The Carleton next week. This is a unique blending of the classical concert aria and jazz-influenced art song in which composer Aaron Davis uses the visceral poetry of Margaret Atwood to tackle issues of sexism, humour, gender inequality, and grief.

Thursday October 31st is SOLD OUT. Tickets for Wednesday October 30th available HERE.

In this CTV news clip, Soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee discusses her collaboration with Margaret Atwood.

Burger Bash 2024!

The Coast’s Burger Bash strikes again!  Here’s a sneak peek at The Carleton’s HFX-MEX burger.

Atlantic beef patty seared to perfection and served with a classic Cotija cheese. A refreshing pico de gallo will balance the richness of our spicy and sour Tajín crema, and the shredded lettuce will bring in the crunch factor to bring this burger to a whole new level ($15). Pair with famous Carleton frites or side salad ($7) and quench your thirst with a cold Garrison on tap ($7). $1 from every burger sold, every side sold, and every brew sold goes to Feed Nova Scotia so a full meal deal means we contribute $3 to this worthy cause!

The Carleton and The Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia are so appreciative of your moral and financial support as Team Carleton presented Fleetwood Mac at BMO’s A Different Stage of Mind: The Grand Finale last Thursday February 29.

Our fund raising efforts contributed $65,600 to the event’s total of $260,560 as we stepped waaaaaay out of our comfort zone behind the scenes and into the on-stage spotlight to raise critical funds for community mental health initiatives across Nova Scotia.
