SUMMARY:HERE & THERE: Paintings by Martin Osberg
DESCRIPTION:A collection of Martin Osberg’s painted compositions\, in oil and acrylic\, inspired by the land\, sea and architecture of the Southern Gulf Islands\, Portugal and Spain. \nShow runs February 17 – March 8\nTuesday to Sunday 11 am to 5 pm \nOpening Reception Thursday\, February 19\, 6-8 pm \nMartin Osberg has been painting for over 30 years. The most significant influences on his style have been the land and sea around Vancouver Island and the Southern Gulf Islands\, and the interesting play of light and shadow on buildings in Portugal and Spain. The series “Impressions of Iberia” started during a one month painting retreat in Portugal in 2017 and has continued to develop up to the present. \nThe painted compositions included in HERE and THERE showcase these two distinct influences and include works in oil and acrylic on canvas\, linen\, wood panels and archival oil paper mounted on wood panels. \nMartin Osberg has a studio above the Gage Gallery and will be in his studio painting for the duration of the show. Visitors to the gallery are invited to come up to his studio to meet and discuss his approach to painting.

SUMMARY:Island Chamber Winds presents: Still Bravely Singing
DESCRIPTION:Still Bravely Singing is a concert about birds\, but it’s really about using birds to look at humanity: to reflect on our history\, grapple with our present\, and imagine our future. \nBirds have long been used as symbols and metaphors\, especially for ideas like freedom and hope. Music and poetry can allow us to collectively engage with what’s happening around us\, and perhaps help us make better sense of it all. And there’s certainly a lot happening all over the world these days that is difficult to confront. \nWhile the music on this program is heavy at times\, it also includes moments of great joy\, optimism\, and even humour. We hope you’ll join us in exploring this beautiful and thought-provoking music. \nProgram:\nErin Lilliefors: Flight\nClare Howard: Above the Final Fields*\nStephanie Berg: We Are Not Birds*\nMaya Angelou: Caged Bird\, performed by Tenyjah McKenna\nOlivier Messiaen: Abime des Oiseaux\, performed by Le Lu\nCaroline Shaw/arr.\nDanielle Fisher: and the swallow\nIngrid Stölzel: Echo of the Past*\nClément Janequin/arr. Ben Litzcke: Le Chant des Oiseaux \n*Canadian premieres from the Women in Harmoniemusik commissioning consortium. We’ll be the first Canadian ensemble to perform these three pieces\, which were all written in the past year. \nFeaturing: \nBen Litzcke\, conductor\nLaura Andrew\, flute\nThomas Bauer\, flute/piccolo\nKristen Cooke\, oboe\nAndrew Montgomery\, oboe\nLe Lu\, clarinet\nRebecca Hissen\, clarinet/bass clarinet\nJean Poynter\, horn\nKaren Hough\, horn\nHeather Fisher\, bassoon\nJohn Myatt\, bassoon\nAllan Thorpe\, contrabassoon\nTenyjah Mckenna\, actor \nAll tickets are Pay-What-You-Can\, and we encourage you to choose an amount that fits your budget. https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/still-bravely-singing-birdsong-for-our-time \nThis concert is generously sponsored by Wildwood Health & Performance\, Long & McQuade Musical Instruments\, Thrifty Foods Hillside Mall\, and Fernwood Coffee. \nThe Baumann Centre is accessed by a flight of stairs or a lift and has gender-neutral accessible washrooms. Parking is limited so we encourage you to carpool\, bus\, bike\, or arrive with enough time to find a parking spot. \nThis concert takes place on the territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən People\, now known as the Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations.
