The Luckies
World Music & Arts Festival, 2026-09-02
The Luckies were born In July, 2022 when Shari found herself with the bottom having fallen out of a project - her with two powerful female singer-songwriters she was bringing to the famed MusicFest in Comox BC - just days before the festival. She pondered who could replace such remarkable women and thought of Hilary Grist and Jeanne Tolmie. Both were an instant YES! They were only able to convene just a few hours before their MainStage set, and hit the stage with a miraculously polished performance, complete with gorgeous three-part harmonies on all the songs.

Mask Making with Soozi Schlanger
World Music & Arts Festival, 2026-07-02
Join Soozi Schlanger as she does a pop-up style art demonstration in the outdoor Artisan Market. "I developed an alternate technique where I could cast my clay sculpture in another substance other than plaster thereby making the pieces permanent. I use brown paper towel, glue, and wallpaper paste with a resist layer of aluminum foil. Large, general, and natural shapes lend themselves well to this technique. The masks are a positive mould that shows both sides of the sculpture. The side created in clay and also the negative interior side are in essence both what the mask hides and what the mask

Rhythm, Melody, and Musical Expression with Waleed Kush
World Music & Arts Festival, 2026-04-13

Through guided exercises and live demonstrations, participants will engage with rhythm not only as a structural foundation, but as a physical, embodied experience connected to the human body and mind. Participants are encouraged to bring an instrument, but it is not required. The post Rhythm, Melody, and Musical Expression with Waleed Kush appeared first on Harrison Festival Society.
