Testing the limits of budding talent under the spotlight is at the heart of Selkirk College’s Contemporary Music & Technology Program semester-end Showcase Concert Series.
An annual treat for music lovers, the series features eight dazzling nights of performances that showcase the skills of 17 graduating students and their bandmates. Taking place at the intimate Shambhala Music & Performance Hall on the Tenth Street Campus in Nelson, the community is invited to capture the abundance of talent in this year’s cohort.
“It’s our final salute to the whole experience,” says Aaron Pasacreta. “We get to showcase what we have learned, showcase the friends we’ve made, showcase how we feel about our time here and showcase our taste in music.”
The Contemporary Music & Technology Program has provided students the opportunity to explore a cross-section of musical genres since the first notes burst out of the campus in 1989. One of Canada’s most unique music programs, learners build the skills needed for a career in the commercial music and entertainment industries.
The Showcase Concert Series is open to the public with admission by donation. Doors open at 7pm with the show at 7:30pm. Each graduating student and their band of peers perform a half-hour set each.
