The Community Arts Council of Prince George and District and Trinity United PG announced the third season of the Performing Arts Series.
Eight different acts were unveiled for the Knox Presents Season, the Playhouse Sessions, and the Performing Arts Series.
Community Arts Council Executive Director Eli Klasner said the acts bring a wide range of performances for the community to see.
“We want there to be something for every taste in Prince George, and Prince George has many different tastes. There’s a country music following, there’s a classical music following.”
Klasner added the big piece to putting these events together is the collaboration between the PG Playhouse and Knox Performance Centre, which would normally be competing against each other.
Some of the performances will also have internationally acclaimed performers including pianist Jon Kimura Parker, and Soprano Jonelle Sills.
Klasner said they’re also making efforts to improve performing arts centres both through donations and collaborations with other events.
“So many of our community performing arts groups, they actually don’t have homes where they can rehearse out of regularly, etc.”
“That’s one of the commitments we’ve been making, is to keep these venues accessible and affordable, so our more grassroot community groups are able to be part of these buildings.”
He noted that it takes flexibility and versatility to accommodate those community groups, which brings the need for financial support.
More information can be found at either the PG Playhouse website, or the Knox Performace Centre website.
