Singing for Fun, Singing for Joy
2024-11-14 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Vancouver) | Fireside room, Anglican Church hall, 4703 Canal Road, Pender Island
Join Mary Reher for a fall session of Singing for Fun, Singing for Joy! This program is for both novice/reticent singers, and those more experienced who love to sing. All ages and abilities are welcome! Rather than working toward a performance, our aim is to have an enjoyable music experience within a small group, and to build confidence in our voices and musicianship. Singing is every person’s birthright!
Weekly sessions begin with a warm up. Designed to settle the nervous system, it assists in opening the lungs and building breath capacity. The warm-ups are sometimes quirky and creative, as we have fun while exploring vocal range and physical resonance.
Singing in both unison and harmony can bring awesome feelings of sensory well-being, while connecting us in community. We may experience poignant, sacred, uplifting, or humorous moments, as we sing old songs, folk songs, rounds, chants, and sometimes dances.
Register by September 26.
Thursdays, 4pm to 5pm.

Best of the Fests: BEETHOVEN’S NINE: ODE TO HUMANITY
2024-11-13 19:30 - 21:30 | ArtSpring
Don’t miss BEETHOVEN’S NINE: ODE TO HUMANITY, the first film in the Salt Spring Film Festival’s annual “Best of the Fests” series at ArtSpring, at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, November 13, featuring a live performance by Cicela Månsson & Don Conley!
You don’t have to love classical music to fall in love with this uplifting and profoundly moving film about Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. Inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment, Beethoven’s timeless Ninth Symphony was the first in history to be accompanied by words – words about love & freedom, hope & peace – written both as a love letter to humankind and as a powerful piece of protest music.
Canadian filmmaker Larry Weinstein travels around the world and delves into the deeply personal to explore the question: How far have we come in the past 200 years since Beethoven wrote his Ninth Symphony? Are we finally worthy of the hopes & dreams of this highly evolved and thoroughly modern artist?
If the horrific wars raging in Ukraine & the Middle East have you questioning why as a species we seem so intent on destroying one another, this timely reminder of our shared humanity will leave you incandescent with hope for the future. Perhaps only music and art can save us from ourselves.
Tickets are $14 via the ArtSpring box office.

In 2024, the Cannes Yachting Festival will present a new sector dedicated to new motor boats 12-13 metres long, which is located in Port Canto, between the Sailing and Yacht Brokerage & Toys areas.

In addition to the boats, a selection of outboard engines will be presented on land along the entrance to this area.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the latest in the new 8- to 12-metre motorboat category, largely starting next September.

IDEAL PLACES FOR DISCOVERY
Located on the two ports of Cannes, the Vieux Port and the Port Canto, the Cannes Yachting Festival welcomes you in an exceptional environment, from one end to the other of the famous Croisette.
Come and admire the most beautiful yachts and sailing boats on the sunny coast of the French Riviera. On the occasion of your visit, you may have the chance to take the helm of exceptional units during sea trials!
