Highs and Lows Choir
6:30PM - 7:00PM. Exhibition Hall.

The Highs & Lows Choir is a peer-managed four part choral group that seeks to promote mental health and wellness by providing folks with lived experiences of mental illness (as well as allies and friends) with access to music. Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all of our members. There is no pressure to attend every practice or performance, we just want to have fun singing.

Vancouver Cantonese Opera
7:00PM - 7:30PM. Exhibition Hall.

Cantonese opera (粵劇) is one of the major categories in Chinese opera, originating in southern China’s Guangdong Province. It is a traditional Chinese art form, involving music, singing, martial arts, acrobatics, and acting. Rosa Cheng is a talented Cantonese opera performer who offers a versatility and diversity of styles in her singing and acting. Mr. Paul Cheng is a martial artist and has great interest in Cantonese Opera at his young age.

Jerry LaFaery & Sparkipelago
7:30PM - 8:00PM. Exhibition Hall.

Sparkipelago is a band of shiny human islands. The group works to deliver a wave of emotion through a curated selection of beloved classics, and sparkly new gems. The waves sail out to you. Come out ... drift away ... and lose yourself in something old, familiar & new.

Ravensdaughter
8:00PM - 8:30PM. Exhibition Hall.

Ravensdaughter’s music carries the scent of her eastern European origins combined with more current flavours of folk, jazz, blues, with hints or R&B and a sprinkle of gipsy jazz. She sings predominantly in English, but occasionally also in Spanish, Swedish and Lithuanian. Her music changes and evolves with the influences from her travels, encounters and ceremonies.

I Want Everyone to Like Me by Cameron Davidson
8:00PM - 8:30PM. Outdoors on Turntable.

“I Want Everyone To Love Me” invites you to love one emcee, 1-2 dancers, a keyboard player, video projections, digital audio from samplers and turntables and a live performance on a drum kit made from found items. Duration dependent on level of love.
