CYMC Musical Theatre kicks off its 2011 summer season July 2.

Two playful women who help people to create connections through sound and movement are offering a workshop this Saturday from 2 to 5:30 at the Abbey in Cumberland.

The Cowichan Folk Guild has announced the launch of the 2011 Islands Songwriting contest. The contest runs from mid-April to the closing deadline on June 6.

Support Our Seniors Comox Valley, a local non-profit organization which advocates for seniors, is presenting a musical review on life in the so-called Golden Years.

With only four weeks remaining in the 2010-2011 season, what better way could there be than to spend a summer evening, cool drink in hand, listening to one of the smoothest jazz combos in the region?

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, fresh from the backwoods, backwards world of Lasqueti Island, a troupe of 35 circus performers, musicians and freaks will roll off the ferry and into the Comox Valley for one night only.

An evening of musical interaction that gives the audience a chance to sing along to well-known Christian songs — St. John’s Anglican Church in Courtenay welcomes back by popular request world-class Hawaiian musician Anela Kahiamoe.

For anyone who’s seen the band perform, the answer is simple: They’re an incredibly talented group of performers that bring people out of their seats with songs that radiate infectious grooves and great vocal harmonies.

B.C. roots and country artist Sean Hogan comes to the Valley for an unplugged celebration of his career to date in the music industry. Serious Coffee Courtenay presents Hogan with his "whisky voice and six strings" for one night only.

Spring has sprung and once again the beautiful Filberg Lodge is hosting the Brushworks Artists Group Show and Sale.
