SaskMusic is thrilled to present a performance masterclass with Luther Mallory. He'll be bringing his incredible two-day workshop Destroy the Stage, to Saskatoon, March 14-25, 2026! For those who can't attend the weekend - or want to keep learning - there will be an additional 2-hour mini-seminar offered on the evening of March 15.

Destroy The Stage is Luther Mallory's high-energy, transformational performance coaching for artists who want to get out of their heads and fully into the moment on stage.

Through practical, immediately usable tools - voice, movement, storytelling, audience engagement, and focus - artists learn to break patterns of overthinking and harsh self-judgment that weaken connection.

The result is a more present, expressive performance with fewer fear barriers, more vulnerability, more risk-taking, and a stronger bond with the audience.

Luther Mallory is an Artist Performance Coach, keynote speaker, and music artist who helps performers build magnetic stage presence by breaking the overthinking and harsh self-judgment that weaken audience connection. A former touring musician with 10 years on the road and 1,000+ shows, he's coached more than 1,000 artists and serves as the Performance Coach for the JUNO Masterclass, as well as CMI's Artist Entrepreneur programs.

 

Registration Rates:

  • Current Member: $60 for 2-day workshop; FREE for Mini-Seminar

  • Non-Member: $85 for 2-day workshop (includes mini-seminar); $20 for mini-seminar only

 

Register now for this incredible event!

 

Apply to be a Masterclass Demonstration Artist!

Demo artists will work hands-on with Luther and be coached by him live in front of peers during a portion of the masterclass. This is a great opportunity to get bonus hands-on direction for your project! All band members who would be part of a demonstration act must attend the masterclass - as concepts will be taught before and after demonstration performances.

Join us for an evening of networking and music and wellness seminars. Register today for a fun and interactive evening with an element of 'resetting' ourselves for creativity this spring. 


7:30pm Collective Sound Journey with Sound Haven Wellness 
This session will create space for a thoughtful introduction to sound therapy, gentle nervous system regulation through breath, intention setting, an immersive sound journey, a moment of stillness, and slow integration with time for reflection. The facilitator will move throughout the space to create a fully immersive experience where sound is not just heard but felt, using several different instruments with vibrational qualities that support relaxation and emotional balance.

In this fun and focused 1-hour vocal workshop, you’ll warm up your voice with guided exercises, explore techniques to help you develop a stronger high mix, and apply what you learn right away. We’ll finish by bringing it all together in a group song, giving you a chance to experience the technique in real music. 


1015-1030pm Wrap/networking

This event will be free admission and open to all genders.
Recommended attendance age is 14+ for the seminar work.
