Adele M Wilding: “Vancouver Fam: I am happy to announce that I will be back in town for the first time in four years - performing at The Sanctuary in Brentwood - A Space of Grace for the Arts. Her show, Full Circle, is part of a mini tour of post summer shows.

Set List: Predominantly original music, including my collaborations with the incomparable Darlene Cooper. Each song chronicles my journey as a performer and songwriter, from my formative years on the Canadian Prairies to my transatlantic career in the UK and Western Canada.

My ensemble will consist of esteemed colleagues and dear friends, including Darlene Cooper, harmony & backing vocals, Bill Sample, piano, and Tim Stacey, bass. I performed copious shows whilst on the West Coast, but Brentwood Presbyterian Church was transformative in launching my jazz career in Vancouver. It was the place where I met so many of my jazz colleagues/friends.

The Sanctuary will be set up in an intimate, cabaret setting for this event. Seating is therefore limited, so get on board asap!“

Grandmothers in Africa have risen above their grief to put their grandchildren through school while leading the way by rebuilding communities and advocating for change in their societies. Canadians have raised more than $27 million for the campaign, which supports community-based organizations that provide necessities such as school fees and uniforms, counselling for grandmothers and orphaned children, and micro-credit loans. The East Van Gogos is one of more than 250 such groups across Canada. The Grandmothers Campaign movement, founded in 2006, is growing, with groups now in Australia, Great Britain and the U.S. For more information, visit: grandmotherscampaign.org.
