SUMMARY:The Gondoliers Performance
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 16\, 2026 \nShowtime: 2:00pm \n\nDoors: 1:30pm\n\n\nThe Gondoliers (or The King of Barataria) is a Savoy Opera\, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It premiered at the Savoy Theatre in London on 7 December 1889 and ran for a very successful 554 performances (at that time the fifth longest-running piece of musical theatre in history)\, closing on 30 June 1891. This was the twelfth comic opera collaboration of fourteen between Gilbert and Sullivan.\n\nThe story of the opera concerns brothers Marco and Giuseppe Palmieri\, a pair of Venetian gondoliers who are told that one of them is heir to the throne of the fictional kingdom of Barataria; until it can be discovered by the Grand Inquisitor which of them is the heir\, they must rule jointly. Unbeknownst to the brothers\, who have just married Venetian girls\, the heir was wed in infancy to the daughter of the Spanish Duke of Plaza-Toro\, who is herself in love with her father’s servant. A subplot concerns the impoverished Duke attempting to improve his finances by turning himself into a limited liability company.

SUMMARY:Our Big Blue Backyard @ Beacon Park
DESCRIPTION:This presentation celebrates Ocean Week by exploring the local oceans around Sidney and the Salish Sea as living places of connection\, wonder\, and responsibility. We will highlight the marine mammals that make this region so remarkable\, and reflect on why healthy ocean ecosystems matter for the well-being of wildlife\, communities\, and future generations.\nWe will also acknowledge the deep Indigenous roots of this area\, including the W̱SÁNEĆ and Coast Salish peoples\, whose long relationship with these waters reminds us that land and sea are not separate from culture\, identity\, and stewardship. Their knowledge and history help us understand the ocean not only as a habitat\, but as a living relative and a source of continuity across generations. \nJune 4th @ 2pm-4pm

SUMMARY:Island Song Spring Choir  Concert - Dynamic Duos
DESCRIPTION:Island Song\, a non-auditioned women’s pop choir on the Saanich Peninsula\, is excited to announce their Spring concert “Dynamic Duos!” Join us as we showcase the power of togetherness and friendship by featuring famous duets and iconic partnerships from across the decades. These songs prove that two voices are better than one\, and our choir will sing these legendary harmonies with heartfelt enthusiasm! \nWe’ll also be running a “Duo Donation Drive” at the concert — a simple way to give a little extra and help families in need. A donation bin will be available in the lobby and all items will be taken to the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank. \nThe idea is easy: donate items in pairs that naturally go together! These thoughtful combinations help make everyday essentials more complete and useful for those receiving them. \nExamples include: \n\nShampoo + Conditioner\nToothbrush + Toothpaste\nPeanut Butter + Jelly\nPasta + Pasta Sauce\nSoap + Facecloth\nCanned Beans & Rice\nSoup + Crackers\n\n(Please check the expiration dates on all items — the food bank won’t take anything with a date older than six months ago) \nBy donating matching items together\, we can help create a more comforting and practical experience for individuals and families accessing support. \nEvery donation\, big or small\, makes a difference. Thank you for helping us spread kindness — two items at a time.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:The Seaside Music Festival presents\nAn Evening with Judy Collins \nJudy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nThe award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchells’ “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Judy’s dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Clowns”\, a ballad written by Stephen Soldheim for the Broadway musical A Little Night Music\, won “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She’s garnered several top-ten hits\, gold- and platinum selling albums. In recent years\, Judy has continued to release new music and receive award recognition\, including Grammy nominations for Best Folk Album in 2017 and 2023. \nhttps://www.judycollins.com/ \nhttps://seasidemusic.ca/
