SUMMARY:Pender Island Music Ensemble with Ben McConchie – Fall Session
DESCRIPTION:Starting this September Ben McConchie will be facilitating two contemporary music ensembles at the Pender Islands school\, designed for students who want to explore\, create\, and perform music from the 1940s to today. This after-school program will run on Thursdays and is open to a range of abilities\, with participants grouped into two ensembles based on age and experience. \nThe program will focus on making music together—studying\, rehearsing\, and performing great contemporary songs\, from jazz standards and classic rock to modern pop and indie. Along the way\, students will dive into improvisation through chord–scale theory\, refine their playing with practical techniques\, and deepen their understanding through musical and lyrical analysis. \nStudents will be encouraged to bring their own creativity to the table by writing original songs for their ensembles. To support our work\, participants will have access to a wide variety of instruments from the Ptarmigan Arts instrument bank\, including drums\, guitars\, basses\, keyboards\, and more. The fall session will culminate in a special performance\, giving students the chance to share their music with friends\, family\, and the community. \nWhether you are a student who is already a confident musician or just getting started\, these ensembles are a great opportunity to learn\, collaborate\, and perform in a supportive and fun environment. We look forward to building community by creating music together.

Or to bring two or three. We will take turns reading what we bring. Please keep poems to three minutes or less so we have the chance to hear a wide range of poems.\nOur regular format returns next month.

SUMMARY:MET OPERA: Mozart’s Così fan tutte
DESCRIPTION:The Met: Live in HD is your chance to join thousands of others in theatres and cinemas around the world\, to experience one of the world’s most famous opera companies livestream direct from New York. Here at Salt Spring\, not only do you get to experience ArtSpring’s exceptional surround sound\, but also our quiche intermissions – which have helped make Saturday morning opera a Salt Spring institution.\nIn addition to the opera itself\, there are live interviews with the stars\, and behind-the scenes live backstage footage.\nThe Met: Live in HD season kicks off with Così fan tutte – Mozart’s satirical comedy of fickle young love\, one of the composer’s most sublime creations that premiered in Vienna in 1790. Phelim McDermott’s “colorful\, inventive” (The New York Times) staging\, inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s\, sets the uproarious story at a boardwalk amusement park\, where the two pairs of lovers at the heart of the tale find themselves on one emotional—and literal—thrill ride after another.\nThe third and final collaboration between Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte is a fascinating paradox: a frothy comedy of manners with an intensely dark take on human nature; an old story (it has antecedents in Boccaccio\, Shakespeare\, and Cervantes\, among others) with a startlingly modern tone; and a beautiful score depicting questionable behavior. Così fan tutte was only moderately successful at its premiere and remained just outside the standard repertoire for more than a century. Così still poses unique challenges\, and correspondingly unique rewards\, for the public today. Every possible impression of love—from the loftiest to the basest—is explored in this extraordinary opera.\nSoprano Federica Lombardi and mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey sing Fiordiligi and Dorabella\, opposite tenor Duke Kim and baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky as Ferrando and Guglielmo. Bass-baritone Gerald Finley reprises his portrayal of the cynical Don Alfonso\, with soprano Ana María Martínez as the witty maid Despina.\nSung in Italian | Four hours | One intermission\nAdult $25 | Senior $20 | Youth $15
