“The Performing Arts Series is the result of a unique and deep collaboration between two community-based organizations and is leading the way in activating new and existing cultural facilities such as the Knox Performance Centre and the PG Playhouse,” says Shelby Richardson, CAC Performing Arts Program Manager. “Our goal is to inspire our diverse community to become a centre of creativity and well-being – a place where art has no boundaries.”

As the season unfolds, audiences will be treated to the captivating harmonies of O’Celli’s eight cellos, the heartfelt storytelling of J S Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow with Tom Allen & Friends, featuring pianist Jamie Parker, and a double-bill performance featuring Calder White’s ‘Baby’ and Tara Cheyanne’s ‘Body Parts.’ The season culminates with a fantastic presentation of Indigenous classical music by the Jessica McMann Trio. The series promises to take you on a unique adventure with every performance, bringing you top-tier talent from across Canada.

The series will unfold at two community venues: The Knox Performance Centre and The Prince George Playhouse. As a multi-venue event, it aims to engage audiences across the city and draw visitors from the wider region. Alongside captivating performances, the series will offer a variety of workshops and community engagement opportunities. For instance, attendees can participate in a hoop dancing workshop led by visiting artist Jessica McMann, enriching the cultural experience and fostering connections within the community.
