What a thrill singing at the SanJose summer fest with Javon Jackson Charles McPherson Jeb Patton Rueben Rogers and Willie Jones lll

On June 14 2025, Canada came together on one of our most historic stages to commemorate and celebrate OP's centennial! In what was a truly unforgettable evening, some of our finest talent brought their absolute best to the Massey Hall stage, joining forces and showcasing their own takes on OP's compositions, select beloved standards, and their own tunes, leaving the room vibrating with enthusiasm. With OP's cherished Bösendorfer piano on stage, the audience was treated to everything from a mesmerizing performance from Oliver Jones, to the incomparable showcase from Amanda Tosoff and the irreplaceable contribution of Robi Botos's take on OP's favourite tune he ever wrote, this evening was filled with moment after moment of heartfelt tribute and endless joy.

"This is the best way we ever could have honoured dad - with a celebration that showcases the talent we have right here at home. I have never been more proud to be a part of something in my entire life, and I will forever carry this evening with me as one of the greatest and most treasured memories in my heart. Thank you will never be enough." Céline Peterson

If you would like to relive the magic of the evening (or if you have not yet had a chance to hear it), the entire concert is available to stream worldwide on CBC Music!
