Nathan Jacklin, Music Director

Our featured piano soloist is the wonderful Robert Holliston, an extraordinarily accomplished pianist who currently serves as the Head of Keyboard at the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

The Friends of Bowker Creek Society and students from Oak Bay High School will be on site for a pre-concert talk about the Bowker Creek Watershed, which runs across the school property, just a few steps away from the theatre. Please join us at the front doors of Oak Bay High School prior to the concert for this special presentation, beginning at 1pm. This walk-and-talk will take place just behind the school, and will be 30 minutes in length.

This concert is part of the Re-Connect Festival, supported by the Gail O'Riordan Climate and the Arts Legacy Series (through the Victoria Foundation). The Civic Orchestra is grateful for their support and encouraged by their efforts to bring attention to the climate crisis and inspire change through collaboration with artists.

A portion of concert proceeds will be donated to the Friends of Bowker Creek Society.

Please note: Tickets are not required for the Guided Nature Walk prior to the concert, but if you plan to attend at 1pm for the walk, we ask that you select the ticket type that includes the Nature Walk so we have an estimate for attendance (there is no difference in ticket price). Thank you!

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
Advance tickets are only available for purchase online. Any unsold tickets will be available for purchase at the door 30 minutes prior to the concert, however advance purchase is preferred to avoid congestion at the door.

Parking is available in multiple lots around Oak Bay High School. Parking Map can be found on our website.
