SUMMARY:PIANO HEIST
DESCRIPTION:PIANO HEIST\nNico Rhodes & Patrick Courtin\n\nLifelong friends and colleagues Rhodes and Courtin\, shocked and appalled by the realization that piano just isn’t cool anymore\, set off on a divine quest to redeem the keyboard and reinstate its reputation as the greatest instrument of ALL TIME! Armed with the music of the greatest composers\, songwriters and performers of the past 300 years\, and the technology of the 21st century\, Nico and Patrick deliver everything from classical piano raptures to bombastic boogie woogie\, romantic piano ballads to 80’s keyboard synth battles in Piano Heist! What ensues is a mishmash of theatrical wonder\, comedy\, audience participation\, heartfelt stories\, a pinch of history\, and a world of musical madness. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nNICO RHODES is a genre jumping\, multilingual musician who collaborates with other artists and artforms to experience and explore music in as many styles as possible. Growing up touring around the globe surrounded by artists and the world of theatre – he is equally comfortable playing jazz\, classical\, funk or roots music\, orchestrating a symphony\, writing musicals\, and conducting choirs. He begins his day with an expresso and practicing his Japanese\, the language he is currently embracing. Nico Rhodes is one of the most in demand young arranger/musical directors in Canada\, with 40 stage musicals to his credit. He’s written 400 original compositions\, four original musicals and arranged two symphonic pops concerts. He’s been nominated for two Jessie and five Ovation Awards and in 2019 was honoured with Nanaimo’s Emerging Cultural Leader Award. He composes for stage\, screen\, and media\, collaborates with multiple choirs\, plays with several jazz trios and tours in a duo with his mother\, renowned chanteuse Joelle Rabu. In 2022 Nico produced a series of four multi-artist multi-genre concerts entitled Chapters for The Port Theatre in Nanaimo B.C. \nPATRICK COURTIN is first and foremost a pianist and he is a multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, arranger\, music director and teacher. From his first professional show accompanying a choir at the age of 14\, Patrick has been a career musician. He is classically trained (Royal Conservatory of Music) and completed grade 10 by the age of 17. He then went on to complete a Bachelor’s Degree of Music in Jazz Studies at Vancouver Island University. Since graduating\, Patrick has directed musical theatre productions\, played in recording sessions\, created music for film+TV\, and toured across Canada\, the United States and China. He is comfortably at home in many musical settings\, having played in professional ensembles in a variety of genres from jazz and classical\, to rock and funk.

SUMMARY:Public Art in Public Space Public Talk with Dr. Tatiana Mellema
DESCRIPTION:In this informative and free public talk\, Dr. Tatiana Mellema will discuss the important relationships that exist between art and public space. The discussion will also introduce the various processes by which public art finds its way into the public landscapes of our cities with specific reference to the role that municipalities play. Dr. Mellema will also consider the dominance of private development in public art programs today and the role that art plays in the increasing financialization and privatization of public space. \nDr. Tatiana Mellema is Curator of Outdoor Art at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery and holds a PhD in Art History from the University of British Columbia. Through her former position in Public Art at the City of Vancouver she realised major public art commissions such as “Weekend Chime” (2021) by Brady Cranfield\, “A Constellation of Remediation” (2021) by T’uy’t’tanat-Cease Wyss and Anne Riley\, and “Saltwater City Vancouver/鹹水埠温哥华” (2020) by Paul Wong. In addition to working in public art\, Mellema is a sessional Lecturer at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and has previously worked in curatorial and educational programming at the Vancouver Art Gallery\, Illingworth Kerr Gallery\, The Banff Centre\, The Power Plant\, and the National Gallery of Canada. \nThis talk is presented as part of ArtsConnect’s Public Walks\, Public Spaces\, Public Arts\, Public Cities program. The program includes a series series of related discussions on the role and nature of public art in the Tri-Cities lead by a diverse collection of people in all forms of art\, architecture\, urban planning focussing on questions from just what is it that makes a space public to what place does public art have in public conversations about the complex nature of a community’s public life? Our next program includes Jane’s Walks that will take place on 3 May 2025 in Port Coquitlam\, Coquitlam and Port Moody. \nArtsConnect gratefully acknowledges the support of the City of Port Coquitlam Community Cultural Development (CCD) Investment Program and the Village of Anmore.
