SUMMARY:Reel Stories: Documentary Filmmaking for Youth (Grades 9-12)
DESCRIPTION:Reel Stories\, Ed Video’s documentary filmmaking program for youth returns this September with the support and funding of the J.P. Bickell Foundation. Reel Stories is designed to empower the next generation of storytellers\, giving them the tools and confidence to share their voice with the world. A group of youth participants (Grades 9-12) will meet for 8 sessions on a biweekly basis to create short documentaries. Participants will undergo the filmmaking process\, building skills in scriptwriting\, conducting interviews\, smartphone and camera-based filmmaking\, lighting\, audio recording and editing\, while learning how professional-quality films can be created using accessible technology. \nSkills in communication\, critical thinking and collaboration will also be developed throughout the program. At the program’s end in January\, participants will have the opportunity to showcase their completed documentaries for family\, friends and local community members. Reel Stories is more than just a filmmaking course; it’s an experience that equips youth with skills that extend beyond the world of film. \nParents and guardians interested in enrolling their children in this free program are encouraged to email workshops@edvideo.org with any questions or accessibility concerns. Spaces are limited\, so early registration is recommended to secure a spot.

SUMMARY:REIMAGINATION with violinist SADIE FIELDS & pianist KEN GEE
DESCRIPTION:Violinist SADIE FIELDS returns from Edinburgh\, Scotland\, to join her duo partner/pianist KEN GEE for a Guelph Musicfest ENCORE concert at the Guelph Youth Music Centre. \nIn 1935\, the violinist Fritz Kreisler admitted something he’d hidden for decades: several “long-lost” Baroque pieces he’d been performing\, including tonight’s Sicilienne et Rigaudon\, supposedly “in the style of Francoeur”\, were his own invention all along. His response to the outcry: “The name changes\, the value remains.” \nThat question — what changes when we look back and remake something — runs through the whole programme. De Falla turns Spanish folksong into the concert hall; Tartini channels operatic tragedy into the violin; Vitali’s modest original becomes Romantic grandeur in Ferdinand David’s hands; Schnittke plays knowingly with Baroque forms two centuries later. \nThe evening closes with Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending\, no longer reimagining a style\, but a poem\, rising above everything that came before it. \nTartini: Violin Sonata in G minor\, Op. 1\, No. 10\, Didone abbandonata (Dido Abandoned)\nde Falla: Suite Populaire\nKreisler: Sicilienne et Rigaudon\nVitali: Chaconne\nSchnittke: Suite in the Old Style\nVaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending \nhttps://www.guelphmusicfest.ca/encore_festivalduo.html\nTICKETS: https://musicfest-tickets.square.site/s/shop

SUMMARY:Oliver!
DESCRIPTION:Consider yourself at home with Lionel Bart’s classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel\, Oliver Twist. The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike. \nThe streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver\, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse\, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit\, the benevolent victim\, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout\, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back\, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.
