Strathcona Symphony Orchestra presents Tchaikovsky - From Dark to Light
2024-05-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Tidemark Theatre, 1220 Shoppers Row, Campbell River, British Columbia, V9W 2C8, Canada
The Strathcona Symphony Orchestra’s (SSO) From Dark to Light! program features two of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s iconic works, Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, and one of the most difficult violin pieces in history, Violin Concerto in D Major, with Canadian-born soloist, Gregory Lewis.
The performances will be at the Filberg Centre in Courtenay (Friday, May 24th) and the Tidemark Theatre in Campbell River (Saturday, May 25th).
A Canada Council for the Arts recipient, Gregory won the right to play a 1768 Gagliano violin for three years and he will be the SSO’s guest soloist for the challenging violin piece.
Gregory grew up in Thunder Bay and left at the age of sixteen to pursue his musical education and a bachelor’s degree in Winnipeg before relocating to the U.S. to get a master’s degree at Yale University. He is now pursuing his Doctor of Musical Arts degree while simultaneously playing in Yale’s award-winning Quartet in Residence, the Callisto Quartet. The Callisto Quartet maintains a busy international touring schedule, appearing at notable venues including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Ravinia Festival.
Gregory’s connection with SSO Music Director and solo cellist, Helena Jung, dates to 2017 when he first performed on Vancouver Island with Campbell River-born pianist, Carter Johnson. Carter introduced Gregory to Helena, and the three musicians toured Vancouver Island in 2018 and 2019. Helena contacted Gregory in early 2023 with the idea of performing Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto with the SSO and Gregory enthusiastically agreed to the request.
The concert’s title, From Dark to Light! refers to the emotional trajectory of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 and Violin Concerto, taking the listener on a journey through a range of emotions, from darker, more turbulent passages to moments of light, hope, and resolution.
Helena Jung, said, “I want the audience to feel how Tchaikovsky explores struggle, despair, and eventually triumph in Symphony No. 5, mirroring his inner turmoil.”
“In these times of political uncertainty, social unrest, and environmental challenges, I hope the theme of moving from darkness to light helps our listeners find inspiration and resilience,” she said.
Classical music has also served as the inspiration for modern pop music to ballads, including Frank Sinatra’s Moon Love which was adapted from Tchaikovsky’s 2nd movement in Symphony No. 5.
Tickets for the SSO’s From Dark to Light! Courtenay performance can be purchased at https://strathcona-symphony-orchestra.tickit.ca/ or the Campbell River concert at https://tidemarktheatre.com/events/. Tickets may be available at the door, but we have been selling out.

We take turns going around the circle sharing one song at a time, and each artist can decide if they want others to jam or singalong to their tune.

Join the Just in Time Choirs for their “Beautiful Noise” Spring Concert at the Sid Williams Theatre in Courtenay at 7:00 pm on Saturday April 27th.
Enjoy well-loved contemporary songs in a wide variety of styles that celebrate sound and singing, with classic rock favourites like The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” to Queen’s epic anthem, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” In keeping with Just in Time’s tradition of a socially conscious focus in their Spring terms, more modern songs such as Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile’s poignant ballad,“A Beautiful Noise,” and Matisyahu’s stunning “One Day” have been chosen for their relevant themes of people standing together and raising their voices for what they believe in.
Other popular tunes like Fleetwood Mac’s romantic “Songbird,” Serena Ryder’s “Stompa,” and Coldplay’s epic “Viva La Vida” are just a few more of the songs from the eclectic mix that have been chosen by Just in Time’s founder and choral conductor, Wendy Nixon Stothert. “We are really looking forward to sharing this impactful and moving music with our family, friends, and fans,” says Nixon Stothert. “We’ve had such a good time digging into some more complex rhythms and exploring different vocal tones with this repertoire.”
Now in their 19th year, the thriving Just in Time Choirs organization comprises three ensembles: Unplugged (everyone welcome), and the smaller auditioned groups, the Jems and Vocal Minority. These renowned local contemporary choirs will be joined by talented musical collaborators: Sean Mooney on piano, Britt Bowman on bass, Beau Stocker on drums, Arlo Fleenor on guitar and special guest, Rachel Cooper on saxophone. The infectious joy that all three choirs project in their presentations is uplifting and entertaining and has the audience tapping their feet and singing along.
Tickets are $28.00 for adults, $15.00 for children 12 & under (including fees). There is also a live stream option for $28.00 per household, and we are again offering a limited number of Community Supported Tickets at $15 for those under financial constraint.

Tickets may be purchased at the door, subject to availability, but patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets early as performances regularly sell out.
We look forward to sharing the joy of singing with you and welcoming you to the show!

Intro To Quilting- A Simple Sampler
2024-04-16 18:30 - 20:30 | #4-420 Fitzgerald Ave., Courtenay, BC, Canada
Apr 16 – May 21
Feeling intimidated about quilting? It can feel scary, but a calm and compassionate teacher with a plan will help you work through the step to succeed! Enter Lorraine! Please read the complete description before registration!
This multi-week class is a great primer, encompassing the basic skills you need for almost any future quilt.
Materials: A full list is below, but most materials are not included, to allow for students to bring their own. Batting and Thread in included.
You’ll learn about fabrics, colours, print and how many different ways you can make something look great!
You’ll gain confidence with measuring and cutting with the rotary cutter and learn chain-piecing and pressing.
You’ll learn the tips and tricks to make 4-squares look great, how to make log cabins and the essential- half square triangles!
The pattern we’ve created for this class is somewhat modular- if you want to play with the design, you may. However, if you know yourself to be indecisive or perfectionist, we invite you to make it as designed to take that pressure off you, and to spend your energy learning, not thinking!
Next, you’ll construct your whole quilt top, quilt and bind it.
Some people (like Nicole) love piecing quilts but don’t enjoy the actual quilting part- so you’ll have the option to have it long-arm quilted by Lorraine (for a fee), and then you’ll bind it!
The thing about quilts- they are infinite. One design can be made so personally and so uniquely time and again!
Batting and thread is included in the cost of the class, but fabric is not. We know many people have their own fabric they want to use, and using the collected stash is a great way to get started!
You can use as few as two fabrics for a very graphic look, or 50 for a scrappy look.

YQQ + CVArts: Polarities and Junctions Closing

The call for submissions is announced in the Fall and the show is up through early Spring. This program is a partnership between Comox Valley Arts and The Comox Airport (YQQ).

About Polarities & Junctions: Polarity in physics is defined as two distinct and opposite poles that can either attract or repel each other. This term is also used to refer to the state of having two opposite or contradictory tendencies, opinions, or perspectives. Polarity as well as convergence can be found in nature, online, within political, social, economic and environmental contexts, and among people’s perspectives. We invite you to consider the polarities you observe and navigate as an artist and the places of convergence and junction where differences can be conciliated in nature, in communities and in global conversations. The show includes work by local and regional artists reflecting on this theme.

The show will be up and open to the public during airport hours until April 15th, 2024.
