Live Music Series
Giving Tree is proud to curate several different live music series in Toronto. These are weekly series that features a roster of the best musicians in the country, playing a mixture of their original music and recognizable covers in the city's most decadent, upscale environments.
JONI LIVE
Joni Live offers live music five days a week in the Park Hyatt Toronto's beautiful Joni Restaurant. With instrumental pianists gracing the grand piano in the late afternoon and lively R&B and jazz artists on Thursday and Friday nights, Joni Live pays homage to Yorkville's rich musical history by ushering in a new generation of Toronto's finest performers.
Our Artists
We are proud to support a roster of local artists specializing in a variety of genres, from R&B to pop, folk to soul. Each artist is pursuing their own creative journey and artistic career, making waves in the Canadian music scene. Audiences leave both series thinking, "I can't believe I saw this level of talent tonight," and musicians leave with access to a whole new audience. Listed below are just some of the incredible artists on Giving Tree's roster.
