Carroll Baker, "Canada's First Lady of Country Music" has announced plans for her final tour in the spring of 2025. After an extraordinary career she will grace stages across the country one more time bringing her cherished songs and signature performances to life "One Final Time".
Carroll Baker has been a powerhouse in the industry for over 55 years. Her remarkable career includes more than twenty #1 hits, fourteen albums, four compilation albums, and an astounding fifty five singles, solidifying her place as one of the most celebrated figures in Canadian music.
Carroll's final tour will cover more than twenty cities where fans will have the chance to experience the magic of her greatest hits and timeless classics one last time.
Her career launched in 1970 with her breakout song, "Mem-ries of Home", one that remained on the charts for an amazing twenty six weeks. Subsequent hits included “Ten Little Fingers”, and the AA anthem “One Drink Is One Too Many (and a thousand’s not enough)”. Between 1970 and 1982 she released 31 consecutive charting singles and hosted her own CBC television show, The Carroll Baker Jamboree. Her platinum album Hymns of Gold and five Juno Awards cemented her status as a country music legend. Baker’s accolades include induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1982 and her appointment to the Order of Canada in 2009.
Fans are encouraged to act fast as tickets are moving quickly. Carroll Baker is more than thrilled to be coming here along with her renowned band "Baker Street" – “One Final Time”.

On Sunday, February 9, 2025 at the Isabel in our Ligeti & Tchaikovsky concert, the Kingston Symphony takes a glimpse into the sound worlds of three extraordinary composers, and all the treasures, surprises, and delights found therein. From the sumptuous satisfaction of Maxime Goulet’s Symphonic Chocolates to Ligeti’s titanic Violin Concerto to the plumbing of the emotional depths of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, this music will linger with you long after the final note has rung out.
Joining us in our exploration of these sound worlds is solo violinist Mark Fewer. Described as “genre-bending” by the National Post, and “intrepid” by the Globe and Mail, Fewer has performed around the world to critical acclaim in virtually every role asked of a violinist - and then some. His regular musical diet includes performances from early Baroque to avant-garde, with recent performances as soloist with ensembles as wide-ranging as the Melbourne Symphony (Australia), the Fodens-Richardson Brass Band (UK), the Zapp Quartet (Amsterdam), and the McGill Percussion Ensemble (Montreal).
"Ligeti's Violin Concerto is one of the hardest things you could possibly imagine to play. This piece is performed extremely rarely because the solo part is virtually impossible. It is also a transcendental experience to hear it." - Maestro Evan Mitchell.
