LORNE ELLIOTT
Tuesday, Oct 9, 2006

Canadian born, LORNE ELLIOTT has performed from Newfoundland to New 
York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne 
started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. 
At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues 
and one-liners. The outcome of such training is a very special show 
of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and 
foolish enough to make everybody laugh. Along with his unique and 
wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, 
joined with keen observations of today's trends that make LORNE 
ELLIOTT's work so special.

JOE TRIO
Friday, November 9, 2007


JOE TRIO is not your average piano trio, but that's the point. The 
trio doesn't wish to be neatly categorized. Instead they strive for 
diversity, versatility and more than a little humour and 
unpredictability. Their repertoire consists of the classics - from 
Haydn to Shostakovich - new works by contemporary composers, and 
their own arrangements of popular, jazz and rock tunes.

WINDS OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS
Friday, February 1, 2008


We are privileged that George Zukerman
is bringing the WINDS OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS to British Columbia and 
Pender Island. This group is one of Australia’s most successful and 
widely respected chamber ensembles, establishing a reputation for 
ground-breaking performances along the way. The group’s unique 
combination of oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, piano and soprano 
allows for the performance of a wide variety of repertoire in many 
different genres

TRIO VERLAINE AND FRIENDS
Monday, March 31, 2008


Newly christened in 2007, TRIO VERLAINE members are Lorna McGhee, 
flute; Heidi Krutzen, harp; and David Harding, viola. They are drawn 
together by friendship and a strong desire to further this unusual 
instrumental combination first conceived by Debussy. The sound worlds 
at their disposal are vast.
