John Sheard brings an all-star band to present the music of one of the best-selling music groups of the 1960s. Their biggest hits reached the number one on singles charts worldwide. Simon & Garfunkel won 10 Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Their final album together, Bridge over Troubled Water, is ranked at number 51 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. They are among the best-selling music artists, having sold more than 100 million records.
Probably best known as music director for Stuart Mclean’s Vinyl Café from 1997-2016, Toronto’s John Sheard has released 8 solo piano recordings and continues to work with artists of all styles and mentor many young musicians.

John Sheard’s Salute to The Beatles
supported by Quisha Wint & Paul Neufeld
Saturday, January 25, 2025 8pm (doors 7:30)
Aurora Town Square Performance Hall
50 Victoria Street, Aurora, ON
7:30pm (doors 6:45pm)
Aurora Cultural Centre celebrates 15 years of stimulating the concert calendar! Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to present legendary piano man John Sheard, who toured with Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Café and charmed Aurora audiences for years with nostalgia, harmony and special guests. Included in this session are favourite performers from past Sheard shows, including Mia Sheard, David Celia, Steve Briggs, Denis Pendrith, and Ryan Granville-Martin. The Beatles song catalogue is the hymn book of a generation, familiar to all and such a great way to look back at the impact of music at the ACC. We’re delighted to welcome back John and friends to help us mark this occasion.
This anniversary celebration opens with a very special set featuring two of the first performers to take to the stage at the Aurora Cultural Centre. On October 17, 2010, pianist Paul Neufeld kicked off his 4-show series “Paul Neufeld’s Sunday Sessions – A World of Musical Friends” with special guest Quisha Wint. Appearing in Brevik Hall for the first time, these 2 delighted the audience with a piano/vocals mix of gospel, soul and jazz tunes. It’s a thrill to welcome them back – this time to the new Davide De Simone Performance Hall at Aurora Town Square – to bring this celebration full circle. Welcome back, Quisha & Paul!
But there’s more! This 15th anniversary shindig includes a very special Silent Auction in the lobby and Great Hall featuring artwork from artists and artist-educators who have been with us all along the journey. We invite you to support the Centre and these artists with an opportunity to bid and take home a piece of your own. And to top it all off, there will be 15th anniversary cake! We look forward to celebrating with you.

Mary is a singer, actor, writer, and teacher who comes from a long line of storytellers and believes no story is too big or too fantastic – especially if it’s told with grace and wit. Mary Kelly Mary was delighted when she moved to Toronto from Nova Scotia to find a rich, vibrant folk music community full of talent, big generous personalities and magical stories. People reveal themselves to us through their life histories – inspiring and exhausting, beautiful and ugly, hilarious and terrifying, often all at the same time! Finding enough clarity to share those stories is endlessly fascinating – from open mikes to concert stages, from book musicals to alternative plays, from solo gigs to Broadway (ok, off-Broadway), the aim is the same – to express the spirit of life’s truth, if not always its facts! She appears as a recurring character in Schitt’s Creek; and in Orphan Black; Saving Hope and Reign. Onstage, she made her New York debut in Living With Henry, originated roles in When All the Slaves Are Free (original musical based on music of Joni Mitchell); Sincerely, a Friend (based on the music of Leonard Cohen); Sophie in Sophie Tucker, the Last of the Red Hot Lovers.
