JOËLLE RABU & NICO RHODES
NO REGRETS – SONGS OF THE LEGENDARY EDITH PIAF
Saturday, October 17, 2020 Show starts at 7:30pm
The connection that these two versatile performers have on stage is electric. In addition to Nico’s lush musical arrangements and Joëlle’s powerful voice, their ability to tell a story; their humorous banter that can only stem from their inter-generational points of view; their life’s paths that have caused heartache and laughter; and their vulnerability is the fodder that creates musicality and theatricality into one magical event.
BERGMANN PIANO DUO
BEETHOVEN, BACH, AND MORE!
Sunday, November 1, 2020 Show starts at 2:30pm
The dynamic Bergmann duo bring you joyful and energetic music including a set of Beethoven, Bach and more! Their extensive repertoire ranges from the baroque to the contemporary and includes numerous arrangements and compositions of their own.

ERIC HARPER
EXOTIC FUSION OF ROCK AND FLAMENCO
Friday, November 27, 2020 Show starts at 7:30pm
Award-Winning Flamenco Guitarist Eric Harper creates not only a unique sound all his own but his music is melodically entrancing, virtuosically ferocious and harmonically soul-stirring to the core. At his show, expect to see floor-stomping, guitar-scraping, rhythm-beating madness combined with a powerful, honey-dipped voice that will leave you touched, moved and inspired. Think Dave Matthews meets the Gypsy Kings.

LIVE-STREAMING
The Port Theatre is pleased to offer live-streaming for many events, so you can enjoy live performance safely from your own home.
Diversity is one of our core values. The Port Theatre Society is proud to be accessible and responsive to all segments of the population. We continue to expand our community outreach and ensure access and collaboration with people from all cultures, ages, races and genders. Nanaimo is a gathering place and the Port Theatre is at the centre; the heart of our downtown.
During this pandemic, only 50 audience members are allowed inside the theatre. We understand that many will not be able to attend for a variety of reasons. Therefore, we want to ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to participate in the Arts! Folks in care homes, hospitals or other facilities can connect to the Port Theatre! Live-streaming allows more people to tune in and experience the joy of live performance in Nanaimo.
