Knees are bruised, hearts are mended, and emotions run wild in this quirky, tender comedy.

Neurosciences of Aging – memory and our brain
Have you, or your loved ones, experienced memory issues? Are you interested in learning more about the research being done on memory and the aging brain?
Leading research analysts from the Research Centre of the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal are coming to Hudson to share their research with our community, introduce their new studies, and recruit people interested in participating in one or both of their studies.
Both studies focus on healthy adults aged 55–79, with or without memory concerns, using various cognitive tests to better understand early memory changes.
The group also welcomes perspectives from people with lived experience of dementia, or those caring for someone with dementia, who may be interested in sharing these experiences as part of a specialized committee.

A lifetime of friendship in song: from cabaret to modern chanson

Miriam Sekhon and Liza Miller have known each other since childhood. They grew up in Moscow, side by side, long before music became an experience they would share on stage.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they each left the country and, by chance, both found their way to Montreal.

Though they have been friends all their lives, it is here that they became musical partners, discovering in that closeness a new kind of comfort — something steady, instinctive, and deeply familiar.

For one evening, they transform the space into a piano bar — a salon moving through languages and the 20th century. The program drifts between jazz, chanson, and film music, carried by a natural ease, a quiet playfulness, and a stage presence rooted in trust. Between them is an understanding that rarely needs words.

Miriam has performed in theatre, film, and concert since the age of 16, across Moscow and Europe. Liza, trained in France, Moscow, and the United States, is now a professor at McGill University and performs at festivals internationally.

This is an evening that feels lived-in, warm, and intimate — a little like family — where music becomes a way of being together.

Hudson Creative Hub
273 Main Road, Hudson
Most people would be surprised by the biodiversity found on the land protected by the Creek 53 Conservancy Trust. We drive along Main Road and catch glimpses of fields and forest—but how much do we really know about the life thriving there?
With their cameras and a great deal of patience, Creek 53 Resident Photographer Stéphane Hogue, Resident Birder Wayne Grubert, along with their intrepid volunteers and researchers, have caught nature in the act and are eager to share their work with us. From wide open landscapes to tiny insect life, they have captured the natural world of Creek 53 in all its diversity and intriguing beauty.
The exhibition opens on Sunday, April 26 with a free public vernissage from 2 pm to 4 pm at the Hudson Creative Hub. Drop by to meet the photographers and chat with Creek 53 volunteers and trustees.
Our local biodiversity is worth celebrating and protecting. This volunteer-organized exhibition aims to raise awareness of our remarkable local biodiversity and the importance of conserving it. Original framed or unframed photos, as well as greeting cards, will be available for purchase in support of the Creek 53 Conservancy Trust.
Don’t miss this opportunity—we look forward to welcoming you in great numbers!

TAKING YOUR SPACE: A Workshop in Authenticity and Personal Ownership in Performance

Taking Your Space:
A Workshop in Authenticity and Personal Ownership in Performance with Sandra Bouza
Hudson Creative Hub
273 Main Road
Friday, May 8 | 10 am
A Pay-What-You-Can event
To keep this experience accessible to the community, this workshop is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. If you’re able to contribute more, your support helps make creative opportunities like this possible for others.
Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate.
Registration : https://hudsoncreativehub.org/fr/event/taking-your-space-a-workshop-in-authenticity-and-personal-ownership-in-performance-with-sandra-bouza/
In a world full of expectations—how we should act, speak, feel—it’s easy for our true artistic voice to get buried beneath layers of judgment and social conditioning. For musicians, singers, dancers, and creatives of all kinds, those invisible pressures can quietly limit how freely we express ourselves.
Taking Your Space is an interactive workshop designed to help artists reconnect with their authentic voice and creative presence.
Led by acclaimed singer-songwriter Sandra Bouza, the session combines guided exercises and reflective practices that explore how we show up in performance. Participants will experiment with ways to release internalized expectations, protect their emotional and creative space, and step into their work with greater honesty, confidence, and ownership.
Rooted in the spirit of storytelling traditions and soulful performance, this workshop invites you to reconnect with the part of your artistry that is real, expressive, and uniquely yours.
This is a supportive space where you are welcome to be too much, too emotional, too real—because powerful art comes from full connection to yourself.
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or someone exploring your creative voice, you’re invited to come curious, open, and ready to take up the space your art deserves.
Who this workshop is for:

Musicians and singers
Dancers and performers
Writers, storytellers, and other creatives
Anyone interested in authenticity and presence in creative work

An intimate evening of blues, soul, and storytelling.
Some artists entertain. Others stop you in your tracks.
Sandra Bouza is one of those rare voices that gets under your skin — the kind that quiets a room and holds it there. Rooted in folk storytelling and carried by a powerful blues-rock soul, her songs are deeply human: raw, honest, and full of quiet fire.
Bouza’s voice moves effortlessly from smouldering restraint to full-bodied release, drawing on the emotional depth of classic R&B and blues while remaining unmistakably her own. Critics have praised her command of the moment, her emotional clarity, and her ability to convey lived experience without artifice. This is music shaped by travel, reflection, resilience, and hard-won self-knowledge.
Live, Sandra Bouza is magnetic. Whether backed by a groove or standing nearly alone with her guitar, she invites listeners into songs that explore belonging, recovery, strength, and transformation — not as abstract ideas, but as stories you can feel in your bones.
This concert at the Hudson Creative Hub offers a rare chance to experience her in an intimate listening-room setting, where every lyric lands and every nuance matters. If you love powerful voices, great songwriting, and performances that linger long after the last note fades, this night is for you.

Tickets: https://hudsoncreativehub.org/event/jessica-rhaye-with-preeper-mackay/

Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 8:00 PM

Step into an evening of rich harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and timeless folk traditions.

Jessica Rhaye joins forces with Bill Preeper and Sandy MacKay for a concert that blends Maritime roots with Appalachian soul. Inspired by the folk revival of the 1960s, this trio brings a fresh, contemporary energy to classic traditions.

Their music is built on beautifully woven three-part harmonies, shared lead vocals, and a warm mix of acoustic and electric textures. Think echoes of Greenwich Village, with influences ranging from Woody Guthrie to Ian Tyson and Bob Dylan—yet grounded in something distinctly their own.

Jessica Rhaye, an acclaimed Canadian songwriter with over 25 years of touring and eight albums, leads with clarity and warmth, her high harmonies and shimmering guitar work anchoring the trio’s sound. Bill Preeper’s intricate fingerstyle guitar and deep vocal tones add texture and depth, while Sandy MacKay’s multi-instrumental mastery—upright bass, mandolin, and banjo—brings both rhythm and richness to the stage.

Together, they create something intimate, powerful, and deeply human—a sound often compared to a modern-day Peter, Paul & Mary.

Whether you’re a lifelong folk fan or simply looking for a meaningful night of live music, this concert invites you to slow down, listen closely, and connect.
