Piano Bar: Broadway Night

Piano Bar: Broadway Night

Vibe. Imbibe. Come alive with the songs you love.

You don’t need to be in New York, New Orleans, or Las Vegas to enjoy a classic, casual live music experience. Arts On Piano Bar, presented by Arts On / The Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Arts Council, takes place monthly at The Loft at Meadow Gardens.

Backed by more than 25 years of experience, singer and pianist Kerry O’Donovan keeps the evening relaxed, social, and driven by audience requests. With a setlist that can move from old classics and early rock and roll to ’70s favourites and newer crowd-pleasers, every Piano Bar is a little different depending on what people want to hear. Some evenings also feature special themes that add a new twist to the night.

Whether it is a date night, catching up with friends, or simply something different for a Monday evening, Piano Bar offers a casual live music experience where conversation is welcome and the music remains part of the atmosphere rather than taking over the room.

Food and drinks are available throughout the evening, including cocktails, wine, beer, and appetizers from The Loft kitchen delivered directly to your table. Arriving early is always a good idea if food and drinks are part of the plan.

Doors open at 5:00 PM, with music from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Seating is general admission and unreserved, with tables for four and limited tickets available. Tickets are $12 each, including fees.

Located in the heart of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, The Loft at Meadow Gardens overlooks the Golden Ears Mountains and the golf course, making it an easy spot for a casual night out.

Requests are a big part of Piano Bar, and tipping helps support live music. Cash and card are accepted at the piano.


The theme for the June Piano Bar is Broadway. Bring your favourite show tune requests!

All Piano Bars take place on Monday evening from 6:00pm - 8:00pm.

General: $31.00

90 minutes (approx.) + 20 minute intermission

All prices are subject to a $2.00 Capital Improvement Fund Fee and a $2.00 Processing Fee

About the Show

Winter Morning Walks is a multiple GRAMMY award-winning album of two song cycles by composer/arranger Maria Schnieder, who has won seven GRAMMY Awards (in both classical and jazz music) and for her collaborations with David Bowie. The piece of the same name is an exquisite setting of nine short poems by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Ted Kooser, painting a winter landscape moving from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox.

Arranged by BC jazz legend Rejean Marois, Winter Morning Walks will be performed with the four-piece instrumentalists of Triology, alongside other seasonal festive favourites.

Enjoy this uplifting, timeless musical ode to the human condition that leaves audiences glowing with the transcendent power of art in the darkest time of year.

About musica intima

musica intima vocal ensemble, formed in 1992, is a Vancouver- based professional vocal collective of the highest standard, serving a mission to connect, inspire, and profoundly move people through intimate and collaborative vocal experiences in many different musical genres.

They have recorded ten albums and commissioned twenty-seven choral compositions to date—every single one from a Canadian composer. Their collaborations include internationally renowned artists such as British cellist Steven Isserlis, Pulitzer-Prize winning composers Julia Wolfe and Caroline Shaw, and master improviser and vocalist Bobby McFerrin with whom they performed at the Chan Centre in 2019.

In addition to touring throughout Canada, the ensemble has given recent performances in the United States, Denmark, Ireland, France and Korea

Schneider’s music hails from the glorious tradition of song-setting from Gershwin to Sondheim, framed in the open prairie sonorities of Copland and gentle jazz-inflected barbs of John Adams. It flows in an unbroken expressive stream, lyrical and ingratiating to the ear. Her melodies elevate Kooser’s prosaic lines...
