Don’t miss these five free June concerts!
1. PRISMA On the Beach
Who knew chamber music could have such wide appeal? This free annual family-friendly community event, showcases the PRISMA Festival Orchestra as well as local musicians, artists, and food vendors, plus an air show. This year’s event features a celebration of Tla’amin First Nation’s treaty, with a new piece of music produced in collaboration between Tla’amin’s Drew Blaney (Kespahl) and PRISMA’s Composer-in-Residence, Tobin Stokes. June 15, 5:30pm at Willingdon Beach.
2. Bands on the Beach
A non-PRISMA Symphony in June? Inconceivable! Powell River Community Band and Comox Valley Concert Band, directed by Roy Carson and Denise Marquette, play a joint concert at the Bandstand at Willingdon Beach. Admission is free. Bring a chair and enjoy the music! June 12, 2:30pm.
3. Fete de St. Jean Baptiste
A stat in Quebec, this holiday has been a rallying point for Francophone North Americans for nearly 200 years. So break out your Fleur de Lis and your best Joual. It’s party time June 24 at Club Bon Accueil. Food, Bluegrass and more.
4. The Other Side presents That Wall
Artist Laura Balducci invites you to the opening reception for her art installation: June 24, 6 pm to 9 pm at The Rainbow Room (located in The Rodmay Hotel).
