Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Spring has sprung and that means it’s that time of year again – the Big Band Big Bang!

This event will feature the two big bands of the AROKIS Music Society, Impressions and Urbana, along with special guest vocalist Peter Juric. Both bands will feature some new material, along with established favourites. This event is also a fundraiser for the AROKIS Music Society, helping us to continue our mission of preserving and promoting live Big Band music in the Lower Mainland.

Peter is a dynamic soulful singer with a gift for making some of the greatest songs of all time entirely his own. A superb “front man” and trumpet player, he knows how to bring a party to life and is especially good at connecting with his audiences. Peter has been a featured performer for CBC radio, PGA Golf Classic, Princess Cruise Lines, Vancouver Expo 86, Spain Expo 92, and regularly performs for Charity Galas, Festivals and Special Events.

We will again be returning to the historic Columbia Theatre in New Westminster – truly an ideal location for our performance. The theatre dates back to 1927, and has been lovingly restored in recent years to recapture its original design, inspired by the imaginative movie palaces of the day.

Please join us on April 16 of an evening of amazing Big Band music.
