Calling all singers and poets – youth are invited to join the City of Victoria’s artist in residence for songwriting and performance workshops this spring.
The virtual workshop series, called Opening Act, is facilitated by artist in residence Kathryn Calder. People aged 14 to 24 can learn about songwriting, performing, composing, melody, lyrics, arrangement and production. At the end of the series, participants share their songs and discuss production and recording with Victoria producer Colin Stewart.
