SUMMARY:The Journeymen: The Best of Eric Clapton & Carlos Santana - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Big Awesome Entertainment presents \nThis performance of The Journeymen: The Best of Eric Clapton & Carlos Santana has been cancelled. The box office will be in touch to refund tickets. If you have any questions or concerns\, please call 250-746-2722. \nNothing is more central to rock mythology than the cult of the lead guitarist. No one has done more to create that cult than Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana. “The Journeymen” is an homage to two of the most significant guitarists in history.Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. He is the only three time inductee to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and an 18 time grammy award winner. He has sold more than 130 million records worldwide.Santana is a Latin rock icon. From his seminal performance at 1969’s Woodstock to 2000’s album of the year Supernatural and beyond\, Santana has been at the forefront of rock guitar. With over 100 million albums sold\, he is the best selling Latin artist on record. “The Journeymen” details more than 100 years combined of incredible artistry and musicianship from these two guitar legends. \nBand leader Doug Towle brings a collection of some of the finest musicians from Canada’s west coast for an evening of guitar magic. \n

SUMMARY:The Met Opera: LA FLORZA DEL DESTINO
DESCRIPTION:Senior $32 \n\n\n\n\nSpend your Tuesday mornings enjoying award-winning performances from the Metropolitan Opera\, broadcast in HD from New York City. \n\nYannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Verdi’s grand tale of ill-fated love\, deadly vendetta\, and family strife\, with stellar soprano Lise Davidsen following a string of recent Met triumphs with her role debut as the noble Leonora\, one of the repertory’s most tormented—and thrilling—heroines.

SUMMARY:Murray McLauchlan...Hourglass
DESCRIPTION:Shantero Productions presents \n\nGeneral sales begin on Friday\, December 8 at 10am PST. \nMurray McLauchlan is one of Canada’s most highly regarded singer/songwriters\, and with good cause. Over a 50-year career\, he has released 20 albums and been awarded 11 JUNOs. His songs “Farmer’s Song”\, “Down by the Henry Moore”\, “Whispering Rain” and “Sweeping the Spotlight Away” are now considered Canadian standards. Murray is also a painter\, an author\, an actor\, a radio host; he’s been bestowed an Honorary Doctor of Laws and appointed to The Order of Canada. That’s quite a ride. For many years Murray’s touring had been restricted to Lunch At Allen’s\, whose members also include Ian Thomas\, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church. But with the release of his critically acclaimed Hourglass\, he’s back on the road treating concert goers to a seamless blend of old and new. \nHere’s what he has to say: “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard. Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” \nAnd this\, in a nutshell\, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience. \n“It might have been a large theatre but it felt like a group of friends sitting in a living room listening to tales from the son who hit the road to share his music… special\, memorable\, warm and\, quite simply\, Murray McLauchlan at his best.”   – Kamloops This Week

SUMMARY:Reel Alternatives: The Great Escaper
DESCRIPTION:The Cowichan Hospice Society presents \nSubscribe to all 5 shows for $70! Single tickets on sale February 1\, 2024. \n\nIn the summer of 2014 — the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings — octogenarian Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He’d staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy\, commemorating their fallen comrades. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world — Bernie seemed to embody the defiant\, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course\, it wasn’t the whole story. It was the story we all tell ourselves to make war and old age bearable. The bitter-sweet script explores the reality with wit and a very big heart. Bernie’s adventure\, spanning a mere 48 hours\, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Glenda Jackson) — the story celebrates their love without sentimentality and with an eye to the lessons we can all learn from the Greatest Generation. \nDrama | Comedy \n\n\n\nReel Alternatives is a monthly fundraiser bringing Toronto Film Festival’s critically acclaimed films to the Cowichan Valley. This year’s circuit will feature five acclaimed films. All proceeds go directly to benefiting individuals and families in Cowichan through Cowichan Hospice by ensuring hospice services are available when they need them. \nNote that the concession will be open with snacks and drinks\, along with coffee and tea\, available for purchase.
