Since 2012, she has toured internationally across Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and the U.S. With a background in literature and filmmaking, Hol’s performance is both timeless and evocative.
Evan Cheadle, a Victoria-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, is known for his lush, vintage-inspired sound that fuses folk, psych, and classic rock. His 2021 album Fault Line Serenade (via Victory Pool) earned national acclaim for its warm analog production and poetic lyricism.

The Civic Orchestra of Victoria is a vibrant, community orchestra made up of passionate amateur and professional musicians from across the Greater Victoria region. They kick off their 42nd season with esteemed Music Director, Grant Harville, at the podium and a brilliant program entitled 'Souvenirs'. 
Arrive early for Grant Harville's pre-concert talk from 1:00-1:30pm and gain interesting insights into the works you are about to hear!
Works on this program: 
Beringia - Ben Johnston-Urey Ben Johnston-Urey is a songwriter, composer and arranger currently living in Whitehorse, Yukon. Beringia beckons listeners to embark on a transformative journey, echoing the courageous footsteps of those who long ago ventured across the Bering Strait.
Magnolia Suite - R. Nathaniel Dett, arr. Grant HarvilleRobert Nathaniel Dett was a Canadian-American Black composer, organist, pianist, choral director, and music professor. Born and raised in Canada until the age of 11, he moved to the United States with his family and had most of his professional education and career there. The Magnolia Suite composed for solo piano is in five movements: 1. Magnolias (D Major), 2. The Deserted Cabin (B minor), 3. My Lady Love (A Major), 4. Mammy (D flat Major), 5. The Place Where the Rainbow Ends (G flat Major). It has been arranged for orchestra by Grant Harville.
L'Arlésienne Suites Nos. 1 and 2 - Georges BizetThe music in the L'Arlésienne Suites is derived from the musical score to Alphonse Daudet’s play, L’Arlésienne. The play premiered in October, 1872, receiving negative reviews in the theater and musical press. Bizet decided to take the music from the play and create an orchestral suite. For the suite, Bizet added the alto saxophone to the orchestra. Despite the negative reviews of the play, Bizet’s L’Arlésienne, Suite No. 1 became an immediate success. L'Arlésienne, Suite No. 1 became so popular that the publisher commissioned a second set, L'Arlésienne, Suite No. 2, in 1879, four years after Bizet's untimely death.
 
Notice regarding children:Please note that while Civic Orchestra concerts are family-friendly, most programs are not suitable for very young children. If attending with children, please seat yourself near an exit so that you may easily take your children to the lobby during a performance if they become disruptive. Please be mindful of the concert-going experience of the patrons around you; we want everyone to enjoy the show! Thank you.

CULINAIRE 2026 - VIP EXPERIENCE

VIP - Early Event: 4pm - 7:15pm

VIP - Late Event: 7pm - 10:15pm

The Australian virtuoso recently described as 'the finest guitar player of this generation,' has
been selling out concerts around the globe — and in the spring of 2026, he’ll bring his now-famed
live show to intimate venues across Western Canada!
“Do whatever it takes to get in the front row!” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia
“A generational talent that must be seen to be believed.” – Roots Magazine, UK
Don’t miss your chance to see live music at its finest!
Daniel Champagne lives and breathes music. Playing upwards of 250 concerts around the world
each year, he is as loved globally as he is in his homeland of Australia. His signature guitar style
and formidable stage show have garnered accolades and dedicated fans worldwide.
Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, the story goes that
the young artist first picked up his instrument of choice at age five, following in the footsteps of
his musical father. He began writing songs at twelve, trained classically throughout his teens, and
performed wherever he could — honing his craft and developing the electric live show that he is
renowned for today. At eighteen, he finished school, turned professional, and hit the road without
looking back.
The following eighteen years have seen him release seven studio albums, sell out concerts across
the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun, and share stages with the likes of
Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins, and
Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Expect jaw-dropping guitar skills, songs that carry the heart away, and the stories of a troubadour
that will stay with you long after the last note rings out — a Daniel Champagne show is not just a
concert, it’s an experience.
WHAT THE PRESS SAY
“The word ‘prodigy’ seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills. He coaxes
sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” – The Calgary Herald, Canada
“Today I saw the future of folk — festival-goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage
to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” –
The Firefly Column, USA
“A generational talent.” – Roots Magazine, UK
“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads, fusing the strong traditions of blues, folk, and other roots art
with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an
ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” – The Indie
Blender, Canada
“Reinventing roots guitar.” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia
“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy
who plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying
the art.” – BW Review, New Zealand
“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully
crafted melodies that invariably carry the heart with grand romanticism. Coupled with anexhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band,
Champagne is simply magical.” – TheMusic, Australia
“You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities
afresh.” – Ted Gioia, American jazz critic and music

Daniel Champagne Live!
