NIGHT MUSIC
BRENDAN FITZPATRICK QUARTET
Sunday, July 19th, 10pm
The Ship Pub, 265 Duckworth St.
$10 at the door | 19+
Brendan Fitzpatrick is a guitarist, composer, educator and freelance musician based in St. John’s, NL. With a background studying jazz at St. Francis Xavier University, and years of experience performing with singer/songwriter’s across Atlantic Canada’s vibrant music scene, his style reflects a deep engagement with improvisation and genre fluidity. As of late, his work has lead to recording with Heidi Burns on Ian Foster’s ‘Wintering’ project, a performing at the 2025 Antigonish Jazz Festival and his 2nd year serving as faculty of the St. FX University Summer Music Camp.
WHAT IS NIGHT MUSIC?
After the concerts are finished and the installations are closed, a whole new happening begins: Night Music at the Ship Pub. At the Ship, a host performer, band or collective will take to the stage and warm up the audience with a set of original music. Then, after a short break, the floor opens up: Symposium guests and others are invited to join the jam – and the fun begins. We self organize into smaller groups, or just all jump in! We first did Night Music as a project at Symposium 2002. And it has now been running as a monthly improv event in St. John’s at the Ship for over 20 years. The Ship Pub is a legend in its own right: it’s the birthplace of countless collaborations, the inspiration for others, and the favoured watering hole of many Newfoundland artists. Where better to jam late into the night? Night Music is directed by Craig Squires. Bring your instrument and talk to Craig about participating. Everyone is welcome!
