From a “Barenaked Lady” to a symphonic sensation; from Banff Films to Ballet Victoria, from Emily Carr to Vivaldi and Mozart — the Sid Williams Theatre Society’s Spring Season is going ballistic with a full lineup of events this March.
The Sid Williams Theatre Society is co-sponsoring a Sarah Hagen presentation on March 3 — special guests are the Emily Carr String Quartet. Concert pianist Hagen will join the Carr Quartet in an intense and passionate program of Shostakovich and Schumann.
Mid-month the Sid presents an entirely different musical masterpiece with former Barenaked Ladies member Steven Page in concert with Craig Northey from the Odds. Page and Northey hit the Sid stage on March 15.
Then it’s an evening of extreme video, with the Banff Mountain Films Radical Reels tour on the 17. Check out sponsor Eagle 97.3 FM’s website for their Let’s Get Radical contest and enter your video.
Then on the 18th the Sid shifts from Radical Reels to magical music with the Vancouver Island Symphony Orchestra.
Now in its 17 season, the VISO will be playing a program of Mozart, Handel, and more. This spring’s VISO performance is sponsored by Beltone Hearing Centre.
Back by popular demand, Ballet Victoria will visit the Sid on March 30 with a program of exciting new choreography based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Ballet Victoria at the Sid is sponsored by Blue Moon Winery.
Other events at the Sid in March include a Dance Gala and Festival Variety Showcase with award winners from the North Island Festival of Performing Arts. The Comox Valley Camera Club will present Imagefest. And Don Paul Entertainment will presents Abbamania and Nite Fever, the Bee Gees.
