Edmonton Brings Musical Charm with Guitar Duos, Holiday Cinema, and Poet Gatherings

Edmonton's vibrant cultural scene offers a variety of events to captivate the community. Among these, The Aquarius Guitar Duo, featuring Andrea Gray and Jim Findlay, sets the ambiance for a memorable Saturday brunch at Blue Chair Café with their classical guitar arrangements sprinkled with seasonal compositions. "We enjoy the fusion of early and modern music, and the live performance adds a special touch to the dining experience," notes Findlay.

Seasonal Performances and Cinema

In the realm of movies, a unique juxtaposition of films creates an intriguing cinema event with 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' and 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.' The two films, while different in tone—one a family-friendly holiday tale and the other an intense POW camp drama showcasing talents like David Bowie—offer a thematic exploration of adversity and spirit during the holiday season. The Metro Cinema aligns these two for an unexpected double feature.

Poetry in the Community

The Stroll of Poets Society extends an invitation to poetic expression through its Haven Reading Series. Occurring on Monday evenings, the series encourages local poets to share their work with an audience. Welcoming both seasoned and emerging poets, the society is a testament to the supportive and creative literary community within Edmonton. It's an event where words craft the atmosphere and poetry comes to life, symbolizing the artistic heartbeat of the city.
