BC Winter Games

The Arts Community played its part in the 2020 BC Winter Games held in Fort St. John from February 20-23. It was a wonderful event and it was an opportunity for the Arts and Sport to work side by side for the benefit of the community. As BC Game staff member, Andrew Pitre, said after the Opening Ceremony, “I reflect on the similarities and difference between the performing arts and sport performance.  The arts has such a unique ability to be so much more inclusive, engage people, showcase dance/movement/music and just reach such a wider audience. 
Its amazing how a show like this really does bring people together. “

Enjoy these images from the Games.

FOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICES ~ ONE GLORIOUS SOUND
CANADA’S BIGGEST CLASSICAL-POP GROUP TO EMERGE SINCE “THE CANADIAN TENORS”

Vivace is a sophisticated and thrilling combination of four exceptional pop and classical singers. Based primarily out of Vancouver, Vivace started merging their talents in 2010, performing at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Since then, they have gone on to tour extensively throughout the United States and Canada, captivating audiences everywhere they go. Members have shared the stage and billed events with artists such as David Foster, Ben Harper, Jackson Browne, Katy Perry, Loverboy, and Colin James, and the group was featured at the TEDxVancouver conference in 2012. Vivace’s stirring combination of male and female voices creates a sound that is exclusively their own, setting them apart in the classical-crossover pantheon. With a rich and diverse repertoire ranging from pop songs, to opera arias, to their own self-written material, Vivace undoubtedly puts a fresh spin on both classical and contemporary music.
