Family Sunday with special guest Rebecca Hass

Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

2021

Dark Sky/Bright Stars

Join us for this exciting December Family Sunday, an online collaboration with our friends and sister organization Pacific Opera Victoria (POV)!

The winter solstice marks a time when we celebrate the return of the light after the darkest day of the year, December 21st. In Dark Sky/ Bright Stars, we will explore the winter solstice, and the move to light, through sound, experiential activities, hands-on art making, and music. Our host and guide will be Rebecca Haas, Director of Community Engagement at POV. Prepare to hear the gorgeous voices of Charlotte Siegel (soprano), Simran Claire (mezzo soprano), Kaden Forsberg (tenor), and Micah Schroeder (baritone), along with musical moments from Pacific Opera productions.

Pacific Opera Victoria is one of the most influential professional opera companies in Canada. Its inspired repertoire comprises original productions of classic favourites and lesser known works, as well as new commissions, co-productions, and collaborations with other companies and arts organizations across the country. From its home in the Baumann Centre, Pacific Opera Victoria creates significant career opportunities for creative and performing artists and curates opera in surprising ways – enticing newcomers and captivating loyal opera-goers.

Family Sunday happens every third Sunday of the month from October to June, and is an afternoon of exploring hands-on art-making and ideas for all ages. This recurring program often features special guests like storytellers, artists, performers or musicians.

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is located on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen speaking peoples, today known as the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations. We extend our gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to live and work on this territory.Dark Sky/Bright Stars
