Featuring SylvieJanssen-Roussell

Show extended toDec. 15th!

A native of Montreal, Sylvie Roussel-Janssens has been living in Vancouver's Lower Mainland since graduating from Emily Carr College of Art. Her passion for sculpture led her to explore different materials and techniques over the years. Sylvie chose sculptural installation as a form of expression and favored themes related to History and the environment. Exploring the possibilities between art and design, Sylvie Roussel- Janssens has now embarked in a new adventure with her light sculptures.

With the use of fabric and welded wire, magical shapes and images become abstract pieces, masks, kinetic sculptures or a whole range of native trees in the form of wall pieces.

MONTHLY morsels

A 4th century illuminated manuscript, The Chronography of 354, produced in 354 AD for a wealthy Roman Christian named Valentius contains the earliest reference to the celebration of Christmas as a holiday or feast.

MISTLETOE hemi-parasitic plant, was believed to be so sacred to early Pagans that it had to be cut with a golden sickle.

CHRISTMAS TREES - The first printed reference to Christmas trees appeared in Germany in 1531.

ARTIFICIAL TREES - Around 1900, an American brush company started producing the first artificial Christmas tree. It was made from the same material that they used for their toilet brushes. The material was simply dyed green.

THE POINSETTIA, traditionally an American Christmas flower, originally grew in Mexico; where it was known as the Flower of the Holy Night. It was first brought to America by Joel Poinsett in 1829.

JINGLE BELLS - The popular Christmas song Jingle Bells was composed in 1857 by James Pierpont, and was originally called One-Horse Open Sleigh.

Christmas Concertat Lynnwood Retirement Residence

December 16 at 7 PMA sneak peek at our upcoming

Faculty Concert!

Dino, Frank and Sammy are Back! Living the high life of booze, broads and bright lights, the legendary Rat Pack always projected a sense of utter detachment and serenity. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis and Frank Sinatra were less entertainers than icons... the eternal essence of cool.

Dean Martin portrays Andy DiMino with his timely jokes, highballs, and cigarette firmly in hand - brought to life for the audience in this superb impression. Lambus Dean is Sammy Davis Jr., with his studied movements and accurate vocals bearing an uncanny resemblance to the multi-talented song and dance man. Gary Anthony plays Frank Sinatra, who embodied the glorious excess of a world long gone - continually kept the boys in the headlines; throughout his career with movies, marriages, and mafia connections.

Tickets $45

A poor, crippled boy (Wilfred Neumann) and his mother (Paula Quick) are unexpectedly visited by three regal personages who are on a pilgrimage following a brilliant star. Their presence soon becomes a village affair, and a miracle takes place before they resume their journey.

The Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society was established by musicians in Chilliwack, British Columbia, with an interest in supporting and encouraging music projects and organizations in the region.

Amahl and the Night Visitors is an opera in one act by Gian Carlo Menotti with an original English libretto by the composer. It was the first opera specifically composed for television in America.

Tickets $30 Dress Circle, $25 Orchestra, $20 GalleryCheck out our website:
