Sun Feb 07 L’HIVER HOT – THE NB YOUTH ORCHESTRA & JILL BARBER. 2:00 PM - 10:00 PM. Imperial Theatre, 24 King Square South Two shows only: 2 pm & 7 pm. The New Brunswick Youth Orchestra (NBYO) is adding sizzle to Saint John this February, with back-to-back concerts featuring hot Latin beats, and guest performances by the sultry chanteuse, Jill Barber, fresh off her tour with CBC Radio’s “Vinyl Café”. With this extraordinary mix of Canadian talent, the show is fast becoming the must-see event of the season, providing a rare chance to see New Brunswick’s brightest young musicians showcase their talents among the majestic backdrop of the Imperial Theatre. The orchestra broke new ground when it was founded right here in Saint John 1965. So to bring it home to the Imperial during Saint John’s 225th Anniversary is truly a fitting tribute. Inspired by the direction of conductor James Mark, the orchestra has been making international waves lately with performances at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the “Forbidden City Concert Hall” in Beijing, China, and Auditorium Paganini in Parma, Italy, as well as a recent win at the East Coast Music Awards for Best Classical Recording. Today the group is made up of more than 70 young English and French-speaking musicians from all parts of the province, ranging from 12 to 22 years of age. And if you believe they don’t write songs like they used to, you’re sure to be inspired by the evocative tunes of singer/songwriter Jill Barber. Hailing from Halifax, the double Juno nominee and multiple ECMA winner is currently on tour across North America and the U.K. to promote her new album Chances - a throwback to the golden age of music with ten original, fully orchestrated songs. Featuring six numbers that were co-written with Ron Sexsmith – who’s collaborated with Elvis Costello and Coldplay – the album is a timeless masterpiece that instantly transports listeners to another time and place. In addition to orchestral performances with current CBC Radio star Jill Barber, the show will also feature an appearance by the Saint John High School Concert Choir supported by the full sound of a symphonic orchestra - a fitting tribute to Saint John’s 225th celebrations and the School’s historic status as the first high school in Canada. The choir is enjoying success in its own right, and was recently selected as the only choir in New Brunswick to participate in the world choir competition in New York. Tickets: $27 for general admission; $20.50 for seniors & students. All proceeds to support the NB Youth Orchestra. For more information, visit the concert’s website at www.nbyo-ojnb.ca/l’hiverhot L’Hiver Hot is presented by Mariner. Contact: (506) 674-4100

This powerhouse duo of charm, talent and - let's face it - just pure, good old-fashioned showmanship are in high demand everywhere from the Hamptons to the Vegas Strip. But they turned down every offer, every plea, every court-enforced dictum in order to return to the glittering diamond tip of New Brunswick's industrial drill press, Saint John.

The evening will kick off with a set of heart-bustin' croonin' by Mr. Penny Blacks, followed by a swoon-inducing performance by Mr. Adam Mowery. At this point, you might think that you have gotten your money's worth already. But no, the entertainment doesn't stop there! Mr. Blacks and Mowery will cap the evening with a final return to the stage together, for a show-stopping set of "Covers for Lovers", backed by the legendary Hard Feelings! As Blacks exclaimed from a sweat-drenched stage during the final moments of their inaugural Valentines Spectacular, "We're going to take this holiday BACK from the greeting card companies and milk it for all the cheesy goodness we can!" It's a Rat Pack/Vegas theme, so don't be afraid to put on that jacket and tie, or that sassy little cocktail dress! Admission: $5 (Advance) $7 (Door).
