Dark Sounds: Poetry & Flamenco ft. Jan Zwicky
Poets Jan Zwicky and Garth Martens perform alongside two of Canada’s top flamenco artists, dancer Denise Yeo and guitarist Gareth Owen. The two performances, on February 24 and 25, will be followed by an on-stage conversation.
Dark Sounds is a flamenco literary series that joins English-language poetry with traditional flamenco. Its focus is grief, death, and the climate crisis. Endings, disappearances, cultural cataclysm. Little deaths that pile up while, all around us, the smoke steeples the horizon.
- Where: Intrepid Theatre, 1609 Blanshard Street
- When: February 24th, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Pretzel Logic Orchestra
What happens when you get some of Victoria’s finest jazz players, mix them with a few funky rock players and hand them the Steely Dan catalogue?
The Pretzel Logic Orchestra is an homage to Steely Dan and a labour of love for its nine members.
These guys have the chops it takes to interpret the complex and quirky material of the iconic 70’s songwriting partnership of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.
- Where: Herman’s Upstairs, 753 View Street
- When: Friday, February 24th, 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
