A City in Tune: Mississauga's Greatest Hits

Named Music City in 2023, Mississauga is known locally and internationally as a hub for musical talent, with nearly 70 years of hits and significant contributions in the music industry. This rich musical history comes to life in A City in Tune: Mississauga’s Greatest Hits, with the stories, sounds, and items that reveal the people and places behind the music. Through iconic instruments, stage-worn outfits, archival materials, and ephemera from Mississauga’s music founders, rock legends, and modern icons, A City in Tune invites you to discover the stories behind the performers, the creative spaces that supported their careers, and the lasting influence of the musicians, innovators, and contributors who have shaped the city’s musical legacy. From Oscar Peterson and Ronnie Hawkins to Triumph, Billy Talent, and MR. SAUGA, the exhibition spans generations and genres, exploring how music has shaped connection, identity, and community across the city.

Modern Seoul by Jon Lee

Join Jon Lee for an intimate evening celebrating contemporary Korean cuisine through a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu, set against live music from local musician Dale Ross. Jon's approach blends flavours and ingredients that stay true to Korean cooking — some very traditional — with techniques and ideas borrowed from other cuisines. This isn't fusion for its own sake: everything on the table is unmistakably Korean, filtered through Jon's own internationally-informed cooking style. Served family-style around a shared table, this is an evening of bold flavours, live music, conversation, and connection, Modern Seoul is an invitation to slow down, share a meal, and experience the warmth of Korean hospitality. —– Lotus Bite Crispy lotus root layered with a soy-marinated quail egg and cucumber kimchi. Jon thinks of this course almost as a stack of banchan in a single bite. Banchan are often described simply as Korean "side dishes," but that undersells their role at the table, where they're meant to interact with the meal, lending acidity, fermentation, texture, heat and balance to each bite. Here, that idea is compressed into one composed dish: crisp lotus root, savoury soy-marinated egg and bright, fermented cucumber kimchi, each distinct but built to balance one another. Doenjang Orzo Creamy orzo built around doenjang, Korean fermented soybean paste, with crispy pork belly and shimeji mushrooms, finished with Parmigiano Reggiano. Probably the clearest Korean-Italian crossover on the menu — doenjang brings a deep fermented savouriness that works surprisingly naturally in the same role aged cheese or miso might play in a risotto. Rich, creamy and very umami-forward. Naengguk A chilled Korean cucumber soup with radish, nori and green onion. This one stays much closer to its Korean roots — light, cold, tangy and refreshing, serving as a palate cleanser between the richer courses. Yeoneojang Soy-marinated salmon sashimi served over rice with a rich egg yolk. Drawn from the Korean tradition of jang-marinated seafood, where seafood is cured in a seasoned soy-based mixture — the salmon takes on a sweet-savoury depth while staying silky and delicate, with the egg yolk adding richness once everything is mixed into the rice. Injeolmi Jon's take on the traditional Korean rice cake, normally coated in roasted soybean powder. That nutty, roasted flavour stays front and centre, but paired here with pistachio and milk chocolate to turn it into an playful, modern dessert. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-modern-seoul-a-modern-korean-evening-with-jon-lee —– Jon Lee is the personal chef and owner of Aromas by Chef Jon. His culinary journey was shaped in two kitchens: professionally, where he trained in Italian and European restaurants, and at home, where he immersed himself in the traditions and techniques of Korean cooking. These parallel experiences have shaped a style that respects classical technique while celebrating the vibrant flavours of his Korean heritage. Whether hosting a communal supper club or cooking in clients' homes, Jon believes food is at its best when it creates connection and conversation. @aromasbychefjon | aromasbychefjon.ca —– Drawing on the colourful lyricism of Paul Simon, the earnest rock n’ roll of Tom Petty, and the modern whimsy of Ben Howard, Dale Ross is influenced by sound and style from across the decades. Born on the west coast of British Columbia, and living in 4 provinces from west to east, he has woven his way across the country and back more than a few times now, crafting songs that tell of travel, of real places and times and people. @dalerayross | dalerayross.com —– Every week, The Depanneur invites Toronto's best culinary talents to lead fun, hands-on workshops and supper clubs. @thedepanneur

BØRNS with Two Feet & The Blue Stones – Live At The Bowl

BØRNS INDIE88 GRAND SLAM CONCERT SERIES WITH SPECIAL GUESTS TWO FEET & THE BLUE STONES FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2026 ABOUT BØRNS BØRNS creates from instinct, not expectation. A natural-born performer with a voice that feels both celestial and grounded, he first captivated listeners with Dopamine – his gold-certified debut album featuring the viral anthems “ElectricLove” and “Past Lives.” A decade later, the songs haven’t aged—they’ve deepened, mirroring the evolution of an artist more attuned than ever to his inner world. In recent years, BØRNS has explored new corners of his sound with the independently released EPs Suddenly and Honeybee—intimate, organic, and sonically expansive bodies of work that reflect a more personal relationship with music itself. Far from a departure, they were a continuation—expressions of the same creative curiosity that’s always driven him. Music made without compromise, led by feeling rather than formula. Now, with the announcement of a fall nationwide tour to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Dopamine, BØRNS is reigniting his passion for live performance—and may offer glimpses of what’s next. Unconcerned with genre or trend, whatever the future holds won’t be a pivot, but another facet of an artist following his joy. This is a new era of freedom. Fully independent and artist-led, every move is intentional—serving the artist first, and the art that follows. ABOUT TWO FEET For most of Two Feet's career, he has bristled against the constraints of traditional pop songwriting, the critic-approved respectability of the album format and the handed-down expectations of what a song should sound like. His bluesy, bass-heavy first single “Go F*** Yourself” has no bridge and no hook, but has earned almost half a billion streams to date. Pink (2020) does away with the chorus on many of its songs. Max Maco Is Dead Right? (2021) is a voyeuristic concept album based around a troubled fictional character and Shape & Form (2022) is an album he describes as an “eclectic mess.” In 2023, he launched an independent label 477 Records to sign and collaborate with up and coming artists across the globe. ABOUT THE BLUE STONES The Blue Stones – vocalist and guitarist Tarek Jafar and drummer Justin Tessier – formed during their university days and inspired by the freedom of creating without boundaries, grew from playing small-town bars to headlining iconic venues like The Troubadour in Los Angeles, Electric Ballroom in London, and The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. Along the way, they’ve racked up over 300 million streams, four JUNO nominations, and radio hits like Shakin’ Off the Rust , which topped Rock charts in Canada and hit #5 on U.S. Mainstream Rock.

Kutumb Kirrtan

"Kutumb (Family) Kirrthan" - The joint family system is almost disappearing nowadays. Having mother, father, son and daughter-in-law together in the house and if they are there, having a good time together has become a distant dream. It is very difficult to combine old traditions and new interests in the houses where they live together. A young man from a family with a similar tradition got married. The boy was steamrolled between his young wife, who tries new things, and his mother, who keeps a watchful eye on traditions. "Kutumb Kirratan" addresses on this topic through non-stop entertainment!!! Please note that this event will be performed in Marathi. Complimentary tickets for infants (aged 0-12 months) - please contact the Ticket Office for more information. All sales final. This event is organized by an external group and is not produced by the City of Mississauga.

Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie

More than 30 years after Iran’s leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, a religious decree calling for the death of author Salman Rushdie over the publication of his novel The Satanic Verses , Rushdie traveled to Chautauqua to speak about the United States as a sanctuary for exiled writers and artists. The event marked the 20th anniversary of a writer-refuge program—a setting meant to celebrate safety and creative freedom. It was there that a young man rushed the stage, intent on killing him with a knife. Using excerpts from Rushdie’s works, including his powerful memoir Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder , Alex Gibney’s documentary is both a striking testament to freedom of expression and a defiant response to the attempt on Rushdie’s life. The film incorporates never-before-seen footage shot by Rushdie’s wife, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, in the days and weeks following the attack. This material offers a graphic, unflinching, and deeply intimate account of what happened, including archival footage of Rushdie’s early career and rise to literary fame, the controversy surrounding The Satanic Verses , and events leading up to the attempted murder. It also traces Rushdie’s physical and spiritual recovery, including the challenges he continues to face, from losing an eye to the reduced use of one hand. Knife blends reportage with fictionalized dialogues to explore the mindset of the attacker, probing the “why” behind the violence. At its core, the film is a portrait of resilience, of Rushdie’s own extraordinary strength and the love that carried him through this ordeal, and a call to action against censorship and hatred. It argues that art itself can be a form of resistance. In Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie , Gibney, working with longtime collaborators Andy Grieve (editor) and Will Bates (composer), crafts a poetic dreamscape that reflects how Rushdie views his writing as his own “knife,” a tool to fight back, reclaim his story, and respond to violence with imagination and art.

Indigenous Food Lab by Chef Taylor Parker

The Depanneur is proud to host the Indigenous Food Lab, a monthly residency with Chef Taylor Parker and his team. It is designed as place to experiment with the possibilities of a dining experience rooted in First Nations traditions, a laboratory to explore a Canadian concept of terroir – the flavour of a place — and help rediscover and redefine what Indigenous food was, is, and could be. Chef Taylor’s sophisticated tasting menus celebrate local and foraged ingredients, and a deep connection to First Nations foodways, to the seasons and land, each meal showcasing ingredients native to Ontario. Weather, timing, season, and the caprice of Mother Nature will determine exactly what will be shared with us. Whatever comes to the table, you can be assured that it will be crafted with skill and creativity of a veteran chef. We live in the largest city in Canada, one of the most ethnically and culinarily diverse cities in the world. One can find almost any dish from almost any cuisine, with one glaring, egregious exception: the country we actually live in. Indigenous food is criminally underrepresented in Toronto’s food scene, without a single Indigenous-owned restaurant for people to patronize. More than ever before, Canada needs to embrace and celebrate its indigenous culinary heritage, and I believe the long path towards reconciliation can and should start at the table. —– BOOK NOW! – $99 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-indigenous-food-lab-by-chef-taylor-parker-sep26 —– Chef Taylor Parker is of the Mohawk Nation, Bear Clan, from Six Nations of the Grand River. Taylor is a proud father, chef, forager, gardener, and friend. His extensive knowledge of native North American plants brings rarely seen ingredients and flavours to his dishes, with the philosophy that food is a conduit to connect people back to the land. Taylor is passionate about bringing like-minded Chefs together to share, educate, and collaborate on unique dishes that seek to define modern First Nations North American Cuisine. Taylor is proud to work alongside fellow cooks and friends Phil Magtulis, Matthew Kleinsteuber, and Tara Sachs at The Depanneur dinner series. Taylor has spent much of his professional life working in a diverse range of kitchens and catering. He currently consults and offers private dining experiences focused on First Nations inspired, hunt, fished and foraged ingredients. Taylor is also the co-owner of For4ged Candle Company in Brantford, Ontario. @turok_parker —– Every weekend The Depanneur invites an amateur or professional guest chef to host a fun, informal dinner party. @thedepanneur

September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill – Restoration Screening

September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill is a fusion of film, theatre, and concert performance that reimagines the music of the German composer Kurt Weill whose songs bridged opera, cabaret, and popular music with piercing social and emotional insight. Featuring an extraordinary ensemble—Teresa Stratas, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Charlie Haden, Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet, Betty Carter, Mary Margaret O’Hara, William S. Burroughs, and more— September Songs transforms Weill’s work into a haunting collage of performance, theatre, and cinema. Each artist reinvents Weill’s legacy through their own lens, creating a living dialogue between past and present, exile and belonging, beauty and decay. Blended throughout the film are stylized “documentaries,” evocative imagery, and cinematic transitions that transform Weill’s haunting melodies and biting social commentary into a contemporary meditation on art, exile, and the human condition. The film celebrates Weill’s enduring influence on 20th-century music and culture. Through its visuals, its music and its original choreography, the film merges concert, cabaret, and expressionist cinema into a single dreamlike experience. This restoration, undertaken by Sphinx Productions with the generous support of Telefilm Canada, faithfully revives the film’s original textures, sound design, and the distinctive cinematography of celebrated German director of photography Horst Zeidler, preserving a landmark of Canadian music cinema for new audiences worldwide. In English and German, with English subtitles. Screening preceded by acoustic set by Judith Lander and Jefferey McLeod. Following the screening there will be a Q&A with director Larry Weinstein, moderated by film critic Jason Gorber. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Challah & Babka by Alissa Kondogiannis

Challah & Babka are two of the greatest gifts of traditional Jewish baking, and they share a remarkable secret: they use the same dough! It’s like the best 2-for-1 deal ever! Join Alissa Kondogiannis for this fun, hands-on cooking class that will teach you the easy, foolproof techniques to create perfect challahs and babkas at home. Challah — a golden, egg-enriched bread that is often braided, and typically eaten on ceremonial occasions such as Shabbat or Jewish holidays — has adorned tables since biblical days. Ideal for French toast and bread pudding, challah is also the perfect bread with dips like hummus, to mop up soups and stews or just to eat hot and tender, straight out of the oven. Babka is a sweet, twisted, yeast-dough bread with Eastern European roots. Typically served as a dessert and the perfect accompaniment to coffee, babka has transcended its humble roots and become a trendy staple in gourmet bakeries around the world. Classic babka is either chocolate or cinnamon-filled but can be made using any filling you can imagine, savoury or sweet. In this class, participants will learn how to make the quick, simple, and forgiving yeasted dough that can be turned into either Challah or Babka. Each participant will have the option to make and braid their own challah or how to shape, fold and glaze the babka to give it its signature marbled swirls and gleaming finish. There will be plenty of oven-fresh challah to taste, and just-baked chocolate babka to share in class. Each participant goes home with their own whole unbaked challah or babka to bake at home. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/cooking-class-challah-babka-by-alissa-kondogiannis-sep27 —– Alissa Kondogiannis has been eating challah her whole life but it was only after a travelling experience that she really got on the path of challah making. Her aim is to introduce everyone to the joys of bread making and and show that people don’t have to be intimidated by yeasted doughs. For the past several years she has facilitated challah making classes and has a small catering business of her own. @barnstarkitchen

Hara Bhara Kebab with Fresh Green Chutney Crisp vegetarian patties — hara bhara means "full of green" — made with spinach, green peas, potatoes and cashews, served with a fresh cilantro-mint chutney. A popular vegetarian starter at Punjabi weddings that's just as at home on a Sunday table. Slow-Cooked Punjabi Rajma Chawal Tender red kidney beans simmered in a rich onion-and-tomato gravy, served with steamed basmati rice, boondi raita, crisp papad and Punjabi-style mango and lemon pickles. Rajma chawal is the dish many Punjabi families grow up eating on relaxed weekends — not fancy, but deeply comforting. Amritsari Fruit Cream Fresh chopped fruit like apples, bananas, grapes, and pomegranate, along with raisins, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and cashews folded into whipped cream, condensed milk and vanilla, and chilled to a soft, scoopable texture. A generous, colourful dessert built for sharing, the kind served at weddings and family celebrations.

Pareidolia

Pareidolia explores the playful power of imagination – when everyday objects transform before our eyes. Jackets become singers, tutus become ostriches, and oceans of plastic dance like waves in this wordless visual theatre experience. Poetic, comedic, and endlessly inventive, the show invites audiences of all ages and cultures to discover the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. “Pareidolia is a revolutionary act that invites us to reconnect with the playful spirit of our childhood, when everything was possible and everything had a soul.” (La Llave Maestra) La Llave Maestra has become one of Chile’s leading companies in Visual theatre. They combine Object Theatre, Masks, Clowning and Movement in their creations; creating poetic, playful and surrealist universes that make the spectator travel creatively and connect them with their own dreams and delusions. Pareidolia is a master class in physical theatre where the absence of words creates a universal language for all; fully relying on body language, movement, and sound to appeal to the viewer's imagination . It asks us: if we change the way we look at the world, can we also change our perception of reality?

Firepower – Judas Priest Tribute, Blakk Zzabbath Sozziety

Graham Barham: Club Country Tour

Interpol with support from DIIV

Indie 88 Presents: Interpol with support from DIIV Interpol’s seventh album The Other Side of Make-Believe finds the band exploring new emotional territory while staying true to their signature sound. Alongside the familiar dark undertones, the record introduces a sense of vulnerability, grace, and even hope, with Paul Banks’ more understated vocals and Daniel Kessler’s expansive guitar work pushing their music into fresh, more introspective territory. Written largely in isolation during 2020 and completed in 2021 with producers Flood and Alan Moulder, the album reflects both the uncertainty of the times and a deliberate shift toward resilience and emotional clarity. While themes of distorted reality and modern disillusionment remain, Interpol counterbalances them with a focus on human strength and connection, resulting in a record that feels both reflective and quietly optimistic.

Autumn in Greece with Peter Minaki

Passionate Greek food aficionado, cook, author and teacher Peter Minaki of Kalofagas.ca is back at The Dep with another night of authentic Greek specialities. In keeping with his Mediterranean Diet philosophy, Peter brings the bounty of the season to the table with this luscious celebration of home-style Greek cooking. —– Housemade Bread & Olives Shrimp Saganaki Shrimp simmered in an aromatic tomato sauce with crumbled feta — saganaki refers to the two-handled vessel the dish is traditionally served in, not just the cheese it's often associated with. Baby Arugula Salad with Fresh Figs A celebration of the close of the fig season; figs, shaved graviera (think Greek gruyère) and a bright, three-citrus dressing. Moussaka Moussaka is one of the most famous and beloved Greek dishes worldwide: tender eggplant layered with a warmly spiced minced meat sauce, topped with a creamy béchamel. While viewed as a Greek national icon today, its roots stretch back to medieval Arab dishes — Its name comes from the Arabic word musaqqa'a, meaning "moistened" — which evolved through the Ottoman Empire. (It is said Ottoman chefs prepared over 40 different eggplant recipes for the royal court). In the 1920s, influential Greek chef Nikolaos Tselementes added a French béchamel sauce to the top, part of a trend to Europeanize" traditional Greek cooking by blending Mediterranean ingredients with French culinary techniques. This structured, layered version with golden baked béchamel on top became the worldwide standard for Greek moussaka. You can rest assured Peter's version will be exceptional. Vegetarian version available on request Karydopita à la Mode Spiced walnut cake, warmed with cinnamon and clove and soaked in syrup, made in patisseries across Greece and in most Greek homes — served with a scoop of ice cream. —– Peter Minaki is a proud Greek Canadian and the creator of the popular Kalofagas – Greek Food & Beyond food blog. Kalofagas is the Greek word for “gourmet.” Peter started the blog because he wanted to introduce the world to the delicious depths of Greek cuisine. Known for adding twists to his recipes, Peter balances his posts between traditional, modernized and his own unique recipes. Gathering inspiration from his yearly trips to Greece, Peter endlessly promotes the diversity of Greek cuisine. Living in Toronto and having a curious spirit, he refers to himself as “a tourist in his own town.” He welcomes every opportunity to try new foods and different cuisines. @kalofagas | kalofagas.ca —– BOOK NOW! $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-autumn-in-greece-a-harvest-feast-with-peter-minaki —– Every weekend The Depanneur invites an amateur or professional guest chef to host a fun, informal dinner party.

Aamchi Mumbai — Our Mumbai by Bhuvana & Sumi Subramoniam

Dombivli Diaries — A Trip Down Mumbai's Gullies If you joined them last time, you might remember Bhuvana and Sumi celebrating their Tamil roots for the sold-out Tamil Puthandu (Tamil New Year) event. But the beautiful thing about food is that it holds space for all the places we've called home. While their heritage is Tamil, Bhuvana's heart was shaped by the vibrant city she grew up in, lovingly called "Aamchi Mumbai" — "Our Mumbai." Tonight, this dynamic mother-daughter duo is back with a brand-new menu. Having grown up in Dombivli, a Mumbai suburb, Bhuvana's post-school and university afternoons weren't just about winding down — they were an education in the art of Mumbai street food. Decades later, that culinary DNA was passed down to her daughter, Sumi. Sumi's childhood summers were a sensory blur of monsoons, grandparents' love, and the undeniable magic of the city's food stalls. They're bringing a completely fresh culinary chapter. Yes, you'll find beloved icons like the humble vada pav, but this evening is a celebration of hyper-local Maharashtrian gems — the kind of dishes that belong to the narrow lanes, local trains and family kitchens of the state, rarely seen on global menus. They hope you enjoy eating this food as much as they loved bringing it to life for you. —– 🌱 This menu is entirely plant-based, except for the vada pav, for which a vegan option is available on request. Note: Bhuvana follows a sattvic diet (no onion, no garlic), and Sumi is vegan. Kothimbir Vadi with Date Tamarind Chutney and Sabudana Khichdi Steamed chickpea flour and cilantro cakes, pan-fried until golden and topped with toasted sesame seeds for a nutty, earthy bite. Paired with our date tamarind chutney. Vada Pav with Green Chutney, Bhuvana's Red Chutney, and Masala Chai The ultimate Mumbai classic. Deep-fried, spiced potato dumplings nestled inside a pav (dinner roll), finished with our vibrant green chutney and Bhuvana's secret dry red chutney — traditionally made with garlic, but since Bhuvana follows a sattvic diet, this version is entirely garlic-free while packing that same signature intensity. Served with a fried green chili on the side for the adventurous. Dietary note: we can substitute the standard dinner rolls on request with certified vegan buns, which are also gluten-free. Sabudana Khichdi Tapioca pearls stir-fried with aromatic curry leaves, crushed peanuts and fresh coconut. A staple breakfast or snack in most Maharashtrian households, traditionally eaten during religious fasts because it's completely grain-free. Misal Poha with Rainbow Koshimbir and Farsan Spiced moth beans and whole green moong lentils cooked in a savoury gravy, served over fluffy flattened rice and topped with farsan for crunch. Paired with our rainbow koshimbir. Rainbow Koshimbir A crisp, bright carrot, cucumber and beetroot slaw. Green Chutney A herby cilantro chutney with a hint of chili, blended with coconut for a creamy consistency and finished with a squeeze of lemon juice. Date Tamarind Chutney Our house-made sweet and tangy condiment, blending caramel-like sweetness with vibrant fruit acidity and warming spices. Pineapple Sheera A comforting, semolina-based dessert with bites of juicy pineapple throughout. Traditionally made with ghee, but we use cold-pressed coconut oil for a vegan twist. Masala Chai No Mumbai street-food experience is complete without tea — this oat milk masala chai offers a perfect cup of warmth as we move into the colder season. —– BOOK NOW $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-dombivli-diaries-a-trip-down-mumbais-gullies-by-bhuvana-sumi-subramoniam —– Bhuvana Subramoniam was born and raised in Dombivli, a suburban city in the Greater Mumbai Area, then lived in Kolkata (West Bengal) for a few years post-marriage, moved to Bahrain in her 30s, and then Canada in her 50s. She's been part of teams preparing up to 15,000 meals in mega kitchens around Toronto. Sumi Subramoniam, her daughter, has a similar immigration story and is now proud to call the Junction home. Sumi films and posts vegan Indian recipes on her YouTube channel Sumi Subbu. —– Every weekend The Depanneur invites an amateur or professional guest chef to host a fun, informal dinner party.
