Dream Serenade returns to Massey Hall for its 3rd edition on Saturday, October 22, 2016, creating another unforgettable night to support services for children with developmental disabilities and celebrate their caregivers. This year’s star-studded lineup features the long-awaited Massey Hall debut of Toronto’s Broken Social Scene, in addition to sets from Amy Millan (Stars), Barenaked Ladies, Dan Mangan, Hayden, Lou Canon, and the legendary Brooklyn-based a cappella group The Persuasions.

Dream Serenade was established in 2014 by Toronto musician Hayden Desser and his wife Christie Greyerbiehl, who also produce the event, as an annual concert to benefit Toronto’s Beverley Junior Public School and other GTA schools that support children with special needs, and to support the Family Relief Fund, which provides support to parents and caregivers. The evening is also a celebration of teachers and volunteers who care for the city’s children year-round. “This annual concert is not just a way to contribute much-needed funding to those who need it most,” commented Greyerbiehl. “It’s also an evening that celebrates the tireless work of the teachers, parents and caregivers who provide essential support to our city’s children – and who do so without much in the way of applause.”
