Preview: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL IN CONCERT with the FILMharmonique Orchestra
by Amanda Barnum - Apr 28, 2026

Released 23 years ago, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl’ is the first film in what has now become a $4.5 billion franchise with five films released and a sixth on the way. The hilariously mischievous Captain Sparrow has been a fan favourite thanks to Johnny Depp’s skilled portrayal, and the film’s quick, witty plot is complimented by an astounding cast of actors. The visual effects, set decor, wardrobe, and props blend the world of mid-1700’s Jamaica into a truly magical place. However, nothing transports the audience quite as effectively as the powerful motion picture score.

by Franco Milazzo - Apr 7, 2026

Review: CANDLELIGHT®: THE BEST OF HANS ZIMMER at Grace Presbyterian Church
by Amanda Barnum - Mar 22, 2026

The Candlelight® concert series is a special treat for music lovers of all ages and varying music tastes. The concert took place in an ecclesiological Gothic Revival style church built in 1911 - 1912 with a behemoth organ at its centre. The architectural grandeur of the vast sanctuary enhances the natural acoustics of the string quartet, the vaulted ceilings allowing for longer reverberation times. With thousands of candles delicately placed throughout the space, the ambience was surreal as night fell upon us.
