December 6 2025 – Xenia Concerts and TO Live Present: ASD Band with Phoenix the Fire
Concert Description
Recognizing the power of music to bring people together, four talented musicians formed a band called ASD (named for autism spectrum disorder) featuring Rawan, Jackson, Ron and Spenser – each of whom is on the spectrum.
This is a rare opportunity to see these stellar performers together on stage with musical ASL interpretation, presented in a family-friendly style that embraces neurodiversity and disability. Therapy dogs will be present, provided by One Health Partners. ASL interpretation will be provided, with musical ASL performed by Phoenix the Fire.
PLEASE NOTE: ASD Band is a rock and roll band and the volume will be louder than other Xenia concerts. While we will temper the volume as much as possible, we recommend that those with hearing sensitivities bring earplugs or noise cancelling earmuffs in case of need.
