Join CFUW St. Catharines members as we listen to Edward Spera, wildlife artist, share his travel adventures related to his art work. A self-taught artist, who has never taken a class or opened an art textbook, Edward's work, in acrylic paint, has been compared to and rated alongside well-known international wildlife artists. So realistic in their detail are his paintings that they can easily be mistaken for photographs. The thought process has always remained the same, trying to depict the animal in the most beautiful way he can, offering the viewer a glimpse into that animal’s world with the goal being of inspiring those who see his work to be mindful of the animals that we all share the world with, from the exotic animals in the far-flung reaches of the world, to the animals you see day-to-day in your own backyard. The Edward Spera Gallery is located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.

The past few seasons have seen the Kingston Symphony embrace the rich medium of video games, putting on concerts that have featured music from franchises like Super Mario Bros., the Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Journey, among others. On Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. at Kingston Grand Theatre, we will attempt to take things up a notch. Experience what we are convinced is a first-of-its-kind concert concept: an evening devoted entirely to the showcasing of world-class video game speedrunners completing the popular Cuphead and Celeste titles in record time. All of the amazing music from these games will be performed by your Kingston Symphony, live on stage, in sync with the gameplay!
With iconic and genre-defining scores by Canadian composers, Kristofer Maddigan and Lena Raine, Cuphead and Celeste are beloved games and this promises to be a video game concert which is absolutely a cut above the rest. Blazing fast gaming enhanced with a live orchestra - makes for a goosebump-inducing experience!
