A celebration of creative music from around the world.
Celebrate creative music at the Something Else! Festival at HPL with world renowned jazz artists from France, the U.S. and Ontario. Performers include Sakina Abdou and David Rempis (Noon), Aline's Etoile Magique (1pm) and, Caroline Davis and Wendy Eisenberg (2pm).
Lille saxophonist Sakina Abdou and Chicago free-jazz reedsman Dave Rempis have performed with Peter Orrins’ post-rock/ jazzcore band Toc, but Hamilton audiences get to hear them as a duo for the first time.
Montreal-born Toronto violinist Aline Homzy's étoile magique is a collective that paints the sonic canvas with celestial strokes, captivating audiences with their unique artistry in the contemporary jazz scene.
New Yorkers, saxophonist Caroline Davis and guitarist Wendy Eisenberg have history together. “A nucleus is supposed to be an especially essential form in eukaryotic cells. Their nuclei are surrounded by a membrane, which in that world permits them to be said to have “true nuclei.” Even their smallest parts, their organelles (incidentally also the name of Caroline’s keyboard heard throughout the record), are held by that membrane.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
