A Secret Chord: The Essential Canadian Songbook

A Secret Chord: The Essential Canadian Songbook is a brand-new summer production celebrating the music that has shaped generations of Canadians.

Blending timeless songs, powerful storytelling, and a touch of East Coast spirit, this live show brings together a cast of PEI musicians — Lawrence Maxwell, Todd MacLean, Brooke MacArthur, Luka Hall, and Deryl Gallant — to explore the sounds, stories, and shared experiences that connect us from coast to coast.

Drawing from iconic Canadian artists alongside traditional and contemporary influences, A Secret Chord brings together a carefully selected evening of music that feels both familiar and fresh. Rooted in the songs and stories that have shaped our great nation, the show moves between the sounds of the East Coast and the voices that have defined Canadian music from coast to coast.

Whether you’re revisiting songs you’ve known for years or hearing them in a different way, this is a night designed to celebrate Canadian music in a way that feels intimate, memorable, and uniquely local.
