Benji's Pub Quiz Fall Winter 2025

Welcome to FEAST OF THE DEADLY : A Samhain Ceremonial Cabaret The transitional time between Summer and Fall has been a significant portal for cultures worldwide. It's the time when we say good bye to the vibrancy, fertility and warmth of the land, and begin the decent into the darkness. It is the time of preparing for hibernation, of introspection and of honouring the vital role that Death has to play in the never ending cycle of Life and Rebirth. It is also a time for Feasting, Celebrating the Harvest and paying homage to ones we loved and lost, Remember the Ancestors. 
It is with this inspiration that Imaginal Cabaret has woven a night you will never forget, sure to sooth your soul and stimulate your spirit. Feast of the Deadly is more then a show, it is an experience, an immersive co-creation of magic and celebration.
What to expect:
A Feast for the Senses as you witness the potency of artistic expression from some of the Deadliest Performance Artists Vancouver Island has to offer with roots that run deep and spread all around the world! 
Hosted by Serra Moanie we will journey together through the veil to receive gifts from:The Elementals Featuring:
Atrevida Love as Earth
Minx Latinx as Air 
Holly Shirt as Fire 
WanderLost as Water
and joined by: 
Khushi

Land and Cultural Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are all guests here, on territories historically and continually cared for by the Lekwungen and Songhees peoples, and woven with the presence and history of the W̱SÁNEĆ, Te’mexw Treaty Association, and the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla nations. May we all walk softly, and mindfully as we arrive to this ceremonial event in a good way. May we listen deeply to the original ancestors of these lands and waters around what is now called Victoria which has historically been home to vibrant, complex cultures for thousands of years. The Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, among others, have longstanding relationships with these places—relationships expressed through ceremony, language, art, and sustainable stewardship. 
Ceremonies here have often been tied to the seasons, the salmon, the camas harvest, and the cedar—all gifts of the land and sea. For instance, the camas root (q̓ʷəɬniʔ in Lekwungen), a traditional staple food, was harvested with care and gratitude, reflecting a deep understanding of reciprocity. First Salmon ceremonies honoured the return of the salmon each year, acknowledging their sacrifice and the need to fish responsibly.
These practices weren’t just events—they were (and are) part of a continuous, living culture rooted in respect, gratitude, and responsibility to all living things.

Winter Harp - Victoria 
Two concerts this year!
The Matinee is at 3pm with Doors at 2:30pm 
The Evening concert is at 7:30pm with Doors at 7pm. 
Please make sure you select the ticket for the time you wish to attend. Entry for this concert is at The Victoria Conservatory of Music 900 Johnson Street. 
In its 32nd year, and as popular today as ever, one of this country’s most joyous annual traditions returns to Victoria this December with two performances! 
Known for sold-out houses and standing ovations, this ensemble is a "must-see" ticket on the holiday calendar. Winter Harp is a joyous concert experience that has captured the spirit of the season, and audience's hearts, for more than three decades. On stage, Winter Harp’s outstanding musicians and singers, clad in beautiful medieval attire, perform a collection of music that ranges from familiar carols to Celtic, medieval and world tunes.
The Alix Goolden theatre sets a gorgeous backdrop for the ensemble's golden Celtic and classical harps, drums, tambourines, temple bells, flutes, and an assortment of beautiful, ancient and rare instruments, including the ethereal-sounding bass psaltery (the only one like it in the world), the organistrum (an early form of the hurdy-gurdy) and the Swedish nyckelharpa. 
For more than 30 years, tens of thousands of people have made Winter Harp their annual tradition -- now that is something to celebrate! Winter Harp . . . Christmas begins here.

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.

“Kutatás” (Koo-Tah-Tash) is a Hungarian word meaning research, exploration, or quest—and that spirit of discovery comes alive at Fathom in this exclusive wine makers dinner. Join us as we welcome Kutatás Winery from Salt Spring Island for an evening of Hungarian-inspired cuisine and exceptional wines.
Chef Landon Crawford, drawing on his Hungarian roots, has created a traditional Hungarian menu, thoughtfully paired with the distinctive wines of Kutatás. Winemakers Mira Tusz and Daniel Dragert cultivate estate vineyards on Salt Spring Island and North Saanich, producing wines with minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation, and remarkable textural depth.
This is a rare opportunity to explore their wines alongside Chef Crawford’s signature Hungarian dishes, crafted to enhance and celebrate each vintage.
