Black Ends

Black Ends (Seattle) is Nicolle Swims (guitar, vocals), Ben Swanson (bass), and Billie Paine (drums). Black Ends’ self-described gunk pop is about as sweet as that wad of asphalt-crusted bubblegum you found stuck on the bottom of your favorite boots. Much like the legendary grunge bands that influenced the Seattle trio, Black Ends is artfully adept at smothering catchy pop and rock structures with toxic levels of grime; but please don’t call them “grunge”.
 
Conjure Hand

Conjure Hand (Victoria) is a local Heavy Southern Rock, Blues & Soul band formed. Fronted by Black Caesar, Conjure Hand's music bellows the tales of African American and Canadian history, voodoo and working class struggles. Black Caesar is backed by The Shah on guitar, Vince Dupuis’ psychedelic organs, Duncan Chisholm's thunderous drums, and Victor Horne’s rolling basslines that keep it all glued together. Black Caesar delivers lyrics are rich in history and storytelling, evoking perseverance, strife, self-determination and the Black struggle.
 
Gadfly

Gadfly (Vancouver) is the brainchild of Iranian artist Homa Khoshnavaz, who created the band as a way to express her displeasure at the treatment of women in her country. She pours her anger and frustration into creating a strained and heavy sound that dabbles in noisy psychedelia. With Nigel Young on drums and Raine Menard on bass, the trio keep things tight, yet right on the edge of chaos. Keep an eye out for them as they continue to play shows across Canada, drop the occasional single, and never let go of the notion of woman, life, freedom. 
 
Standard Issue Pleasure Model

Standard Issue Pleasure Model (Victoria) is the psychedelic garage-rock outfit of Shea Morgan and Raine Balson. Supported by Ben DeCicco (drums) and Josh Egert (bass) in the rhythm section, Standard Issue Pleasure Model's glam-grunge energy has propelled themselves throughout the underground scene for nearly 10 years. Raine channels energies of the great frontwomen of the seventies, delivering passionate, fresh, and captivating performances. Stay tuned as they work on their 2nd album, “Trip-sitter.”

This event is dedicated to the communities in Altadena and Pasadena, and throughout LA, that have been displaced & affected by the industry-caused fires in the Eaton Valley.
"Altadena represented prosperity. It represented joy. It represented unity and Black excellence. And for that to all burn to pieces, it's just absolutely devastating," said Richard-Craven. "It's like, if a history book just lit on fire. This is a history that is deep... Altadena was long considered a haven for Black families who began settling there at the turn of the 20th century and continued trickling in as the years ensued. Some had escaped segregation in the South and took refuge in a place that did not subscribe to the racist criteria of the era for land ownership, an anomaly even in California." - CBS News
We acknowledge and respect the W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory we live on as uninvited guests. The Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day, have stewarded this land since time immemorial. It is grave seriousness that we must observe the continued violence and harm of capitalism & colonialism, which have sought to disassociate Indigenous people from their unceded lands.

Pacific Baroque Festival - Concert #5

Senior/Student

The 2025 Pacific Baroque Festival embraces the most cherished human values as expressed through the music of 17th and 18th century Germany. Curated by our featured soloist, the extraordinary German soprano Dorothee Mields, the programs exemplify the most profound emotions, expressed in music for voice and an intimate instrumental ensemble. The music of Buxtehude and Bach are a thread through the festival programs, combined with that of lesser-known composers whose music deserves to be heard.
 “Her vocal instrument is flawless: pure and transparent in timbre, yet capable of the most subtle inflections and cultivated shadings.  She can find both radiant sweetness and compelling emotional depth…”
– Vancouver Classical Music
“This soprano has everything: sweetness, “unaffected purity” (Charles Downey),pitch-perfect intonation, unflappable at any tempo, and with a movingly dramaticexecution of the text because she loves the word nearly as much as the note.”
– forbes.com
“Mields is splendid. Her poise, luminous vocalism and animated dialogue with theband show why she’s an Early Music legend.” 
– BBC Music Magazine

Une soirée inoubliable avec Yves Lambert et son Grand Orchestre
La SFV a le grand honneur de présenter Yves Lambert, une véritable légende de la musique traditionnelle québécoise (Chanteur et cofondateur de La Bottine Souriante)
Pour souligner ses 50 ans de carrière, Yves Lambert s’offre un Grand Orchestre de 7 musiciennes et musiciens, avec son équipe de base, Paul Audy (guitare, voix) Robin Boulianne (violon, mandoline, podorythmie, voix) Mathieu Royer (contrebasse) auquel s’ajoutent Geneviève St-Pierre (clavier) et une section de vent rempli de chaleur avec Mélanie Bourrassa (clarinette basse et clarinette), Mary Chalk (basson) et Gabriel Schwartz (saxophone, flûte traversière, piccolo et percussion).
Avec le Grand Orchestre Yves part en grand ! Un spectacle généreux et festif avec une orchestration qui explore de nouvelles avenues harmoniques et rythmiques. Monsieur Lambert propose avec le Grand Orchestre, un spectacle empreint de textures sonores affirmant toujours sa « québécitude » passionnée, ouverte et créative.
 
Je suis un amoureux de l’harmonie, de la musicalité, peu importe le style de musique, et présentement, j’ai des musiciens qui sont vraiment des virtuoses. Malgré que j’ai un tempérament de rocker, même en faisant du folklore, on sent de la sensibilité. C’est fluide, c’est beau, c’est audacieux, ça a toutes les qualités – Yves Lambert

With the Grand Orchestre Yves goes big! A generous and festive show with an orchestration that explores new harmonic and rhythmic avenues. Mr. Lambert offers with the Grand Orchestre, a show imbued with sound textures that always affirms his passionate, open and creative "Quebecitude".
 
I'm a lover of harmony, musicality, no matter the style of music, and right now, I have musicians who are really virtuosos. Even though I have a rocker temperament, even when making folklore, you feel sensitivity. It's fluid, it's beautiful, it's bold, it has all the qualities – Yves Lambert
