SUMMARY:Improbable Objects Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Five pillars of the Comox Valley Art scene are collaborating to bring their varied artistic endeavours to Artful : The Gallery with the exhibition “Improbable Objects”. Collaborating for inspiration has always been a productive creative strategy\, and this exhibition reflects the varied sensibilities of the artists: Ed Varney\, Marci Katz\, Martha Jablonski-Jones\, Jeff Hartbower and Bill Friesen. \n\nThe absurdity and illogical scenes of Surrealism and Dadaism led the to the overall theme for this exhibition. From there\, each artist followed their own creative path into the dreamlike imagery. The broad variety of artistic expression utilized by this group of artists includes printmaking\, collage\, painting\, sculpture\, drawings\, paintings and contributes to the unexpected juxtapositions created by their artworks. The result is a playful exhibition of contrasts with bizarre and uncanny combinations to stimulate the unconscious; the ultimate source of creative freedom.\n\n“Improbable Objects” runs at Artful : The Gallery November 26 thru December 20. Join us for the Artist Reception\, Saturday\, November 29th\, 7-9 pm. Regular gallery hours are Weds to Sat\, 12-5pm. The gallery is located at 526C Cumberland Rd\, in Courtenay.

SUMMARY:Just in Time Choirs Fall 2025 20th Anniversary – Singers’ Choice
DESCRIPTION:The Just in Time Choirs are marking an exciting milestone\, their 20th Anniversary Year of connecting through song!  \nTo mark the momentous occasion of their 20th Anniversary\, the Just in Time Choirs’ first concert of the 25/26 season is their “20th Anniversary Celebration Part 1: Singers’ Choice”. All concert selections were voted in by choir members from among hundreds of songs that have been performed over the past two decades. Two Fall Concerts will be performed at the Sid Williams Theatre: Saturday November 29th at 7:00 and a matinee\, Sunday November 30th at 2:00. \nIn the spring\, they’ll be hosting their second concert\, “Part 2: Director’s Choice” with favourite songs chosen by choir director\, Wendy Nixon Stothert. Come be a part of a year-long celebration of 20 years of music and community.  \nThe Just in Time Choirs consist of three ensembles: Unplugged (everyone welcome)\, and the smaller auditioned groups\, the Jems (treble) and Vocal Minority (mixed). They will be joined by skilled musical collaborators: Sean Mooney on piano\, Beau Stocker on drums\, Steve Wallace on bass\, and Jeff Drummond on guitar.  \nThese renowned contemporary choirs are known for their versatility; their performances cover a wide spectrum of musical styles from jazz\, ballads\, folk\, swing\, soul\, and contemporary pop to classic rock. You’ll hear Queen’s enduring masterpiece\, “Bohemian Rhapsody”\, the foot stomping “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers\, “Chain of Fools” by the immortal Aretha Franklin\, Stevie Nicks’ haunting “Landslide”\, the Boss and the E-Street Band’s timeless “Dancing in the Dark” plus more from The Eagles\, Michael Buble\, Gladys Knight\, Eurythmics\, and many more! \nThe concert finale brings all three choirs together to sing Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and finally\, another Queen classic\, “Somebody to Love”. \nJust in Time’s founder and choral conductor\, Wendy Nixon Stothert is excited to celebrate! “The singers have chosen an excellent setlist for this first part of our 20th Anniversary highlights\,” says Nixon Stothert. “Back in 2005\, I never could’ve imagined the robust\, committed\, and wonderfully friendly community that the choirs have become. The choirs’ Council has been instrumental in creating highly efficient administration and so many fun opportunities for the singers. I’m so proud of the musicianship we’ve achieved and the connections we’ve made.” \nThe delight is infectious and the presentation by each of the three choirs is uplifting and entertaining. The audience is often tapping their feet and singing along – and maybe even doing a little seat dancing! \nTickets are $30 for adults\, $15 for children 12 & under\, plus fees. There is also a live stream option for $30 per household\, and we are again offering a limited number of Community Supported Tickets at $15 for those under financial constraint. Tickets available in person\, by phone\, and online at sidwilliamstheatre.com. Patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets early as performances regularly sell out. \nThe choirs look forward to sharing the joy of singing with you and welcoming you to the show!
