The Seaside Music Festival presents BC's Tragically Hip Cover Band Nautical Disaster
Saturday June 20, 8:00pm
ANAF #302
Nautical Disaster was formed in 2018 by frontman Ryan LeBlanc, after hearing enough people at karaoke nights tell him to start his own Tragically Hip tribute act. With vocals set, finding the musicians wasn't tough. Rodney VanSpengen (Drums) has been with the project since the beginning, with Harry Somers (Bass/Vocals) joining about 8 months in, Stéphane Côté (Guitar/Vocals) has been with the band for two years but knew most of the members personally before joining, and Graham Francis (Guitar) joined us in 2025. The Band has survived the Covid Lockdown, and our lead singer getting married! Played shows on beaches, docks, boathouses, backyards & festivals, during heat domes & atmospheric rivers. A tight-knit group of guys who love what we do, professional and easy to work with.

Entry for this event in Alix Goolden Performance Hall is at 900 Johnson Street. 
The 2026 Victoria Conservatory of Music Summer Choral Intensive concludes with a performance celebrating a vibrant cross-section of Canadian choral repertoire. Drawing on both contemporary composition and folk traditions, the program reflects the depth and diversity of Canada’s choral voice. 
Featured works include Harry Somers’ Feller from Fortune, Lydia Adams’ We Rise Again, and Eleanor Daley’s The Stars Are with the Voyager. Folk-inspired selections such as J’entends le moulin (arr. Donald Patriquin), Away from the Roll of the Sea (arr. D. Loomer), and Song for the Mira (arr. Stuart Calvert) highlights the enduring influence of regional traditions, while Sarah Quartel’s ‘Hope’ Is the Thing with Feathers, Tobin Stokes’ Hunker Down, and David Archer’s Grant Us Peace bring a contemporary expressive range to the program. 
Prepared over an intensive week of rehearsal, this performance showcases the artistry and commitment of the participating singers while offering a compelling portrait of Canadian choral music today.

The estuary, where fresh water meets the sea, evokes passage, renewal, and fertility. It is a space of transition and transformation, where unexpected possibilities emerge—much like the musical encounters imagined by Constantinople.In this new collaboration, Ablaye Cissoko, master of the kora, and Kiya Tabassian, virtuoso of the Persian setar, cross paths for the third time, blending the currents of their musical memories. At their side, their long-time accomplice, percussionist Patrick Graham, brings rhythm and subtlety to this sonic conversation.Over the years, their dialogue has deepened, becoming a rich and inspiring musical exchange. And when the stars align, in the space of a concert, the kora and the setar intertwine their voices to create a captivating universe—suspending time and soothing the soul.“(…) a rare delight: music unlike anything heard before.” – Le Monde“In twelve years and three albums, these two virtuosos have sealed the union of the setar lute and the Manding kora, giving birth to new traditions at the crossroads of the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.”  Télérama (TTT)

Join us in celebrating 90 years of impact and the future ahead. This event will feature entertainment, celebrations and speeches including from the Foundation’s new CEO Ian Bird, and Sandra Richardson who will be retiring this fall after 25 years in the role.
The Victoria Foundation is excited to welcome Ben Nemtin home to Victoria as our keynote speaker. Ben is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, global motivational speaker and co-star of The Buried Life. His powerful story and message of purpose, resilience and fearless goal‑setting have inspired audiences around the world.
About our Keynote Speaker, Ben Nemtin

Ben Nemtin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? and creator of The Bucket List Journal. He was ranked the #2 Motivational Speaker in the world by Global Gurus and co-starred in the hit TV show The Buried Life. Over half of Fortune 100 companies have turned to Ben to inspire their teams around purpose, change, and fearless goal-setting.Ben’s message lives in radical possibility. In university, he was blindsided by depression and forced to leave school. Searching for a way forward, he and three friends wrote the world’s greatest bucket list and set off in a rickety RV to chase it. They never imagined it would inspire a global movement.Their mission became simple: for every dream they achieved, they helped a stranger achieve theirs. From playing basketball with President Obama and surviving on a deserted island, to reuniting a father and son after 17 years and surprising a young girl with a life-changing bionic arm.Oprah called their mission “truly inspiring,” while The Today Show put it simply: it’s about living with purpose. Ben believes the fastest way to grow, personally and professionally, is to connect to purpose.

VCM Presents is excited to be welcoming the incomparable Canadian sibling duo Cheng² Duo (pronounced Cheng Squared) featuring cellist Bryan Cheng and pianist Silvie Cheng to the Alix Goolden Hall on October 24, 2026. Praised globally as "brilliant and absolutely captivating", this JUNO-nominated duo's musical chemistry promises to draw you in from the first note.
Joined by special guest and celebrated clarinetist James Campbell, this concert is sure to charm audiences with their musical artistry, delightful storytelling, and emotional depth. 
 
 
Cheng² Duo Bio 
Rooted in a sibling bond that transcends the familial, the JUNO-nominated Cheng² Duo (pronounced Cheng Squared Duo) enchants music lovers worldwide with its impassioned expressivity, contagious joy, and instant rapport with listeners. Their performances have been described as “brilliant” (The Sunday Times, UK), “truly exhilarating” (The WholeNote, Canada), and “absolutely captivating…through a tremendous mastery of their instruments” (Pizzicato Magazine, Luxembourg).  
  
Cellist Bryan Cheng, the only prizewinner of both the Queen Elisabeth and Geneva International Music Competitions in 40 years, and pianist Silvie Cheng, former Cecilia Concerts Musician-in-Residence and National Arts Club Artist Fellow, have cultivated a lifelong musical dialogue, forged in childhood and refined through years of shared artistry. Since officially founding the Cheng² Duo with their 2011 Carnegie Weill Recital Hall debut, they have toured extensively across the Americas, Europe, Asia and South Africa. 
  
Recent and upcoming highlights include debuts at the Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango (Bogotá), Frauenkirche Dresden, Flagey (Brussels), Munich Künstlerhaus, Dame Myra Hess Series (Chicago), Chamber Music at the Clark (Los Angeles), Harvard University, Rockport Chamber Music Festival, Heidelberger Frühling Festival, Banff International String Quartet Festival; returns to Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts (Kingston), Ottawa Chamberfest, Salle Bourgie (Montréal), Chamberfest Cheboygan; and recital tours throughout Canada, Colombia, Ireland, India, South Africa, and USA. 
  
 In the vanguard of creative programming, Bryan and Silvie are equally committed to presenting traditional masterworks, rediscovering neglected repertoire, and championing the music of their time. Since 2013, they have commissioned and arranged 17 new works, and curated cross-disciplinary concert experiences that weave classical and contemporary music with jazz, poetry, and visual/media arts. World-class collaborative partners have included photographer and cinematographer Edward Burtynsky, Mercury Films, and multimedia studio Normal. 
  
Cheng² Duo's four critically-acclaimed albums include Portrait (Centrediscs, 2023), nominated for a 2024 JUNO Award in the category "Classical Album of the Year, Small Ensemble", Russian Legends (2019), Violonchelo del fuego (2018), and Violoncelle français (2016). Born in Ottawa and Tokyo to Chinese parents, Bryan and Silvie's multicultural roots and Canadian upbringing inform their global musical outlook. They currently have musicals bases in Berlin and New York City. For more information, follow @Cheng2Duo on social media. 
 
James Campbell Bio 
Called “Canada’s pre-eminent clarinetist and wind soloist” by the Toronto Star, James Campbell has performed solo and chamber music concerts in 30 countries, has been a soloist with over 60 orchestras, including the Boston Pops, the London Symphony, the Russian Philharmonic, and the Montreal Symphony and has performed  Copland’s Clarinet Concerto four times with Aaron Copland conducting. He has appeared with over 30 string quartets, including the Amadeus (when he replaced an ailing Benny Goodman on a tour of California), Guarneri, Vermeer, New Zealand and St Lawrence Quartets. He has made 40 recordings, including the Debussy Rhapsody with  Glenn Gould, the Philharmonia Orchestra of London, and the premiere recording of the Berio arrangement of the Brahms F minor Sonata with the London Symphony. His recording of the Brahms Clarinet Quintet was chosen by the BBC and London Times as the best available. More than 30 works have been written for him, including works by James Macmillan (Scotland), Jacques Hetu (Canada), David Baker (USA), George Shearing (UK/USA), Wilhem Jetts (Holland), and Keiko Harada (Japan). He has been awarded a Juno, Canada’s Artist of the Year, the Queens Jubilee Medal, and Canada’s highest honour, the Order of Canada.
