A night of unforgettable performances, connection, and community coming together to make meaningful change
Thank you for making it possible!
For a limited time – WATCH the Live Loud LIVE concert documentary on Crave Canada!
The inaugural Live Loud LIVE celebration on November 14 in Toronto was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when community shows up. Make Music Matter is honoured to have partnered with Matthew Perry House to raise awareness and funds for mental health care.
The energy that filled Koerner Hall was undeniable – alive with passion and purpose. Together, we will continue to make noise about things that matter and shed the shame surrounding mental health and addiction recovery.

Make Music Matter founder and CEO Darcy Ataman shared some words with the audience.
“Working in some of the hardest corners of the world taught me that vulnerability is the number one prerequisite for healing. So tonight, I’m asking all of us: let’s make a deal to be more open with one another. That’s how real healing begins.”
