Key City Theatre

Daryl, James and Matthew are a harmony-based trio, performing an eclectic mix of music, showing great flexibility in melding their voices to suit the appropriate classical, ‘crossover’, folk, Irish and pop genres. The Celtic Tenors have topped the charts around the world, and sold well over a million albums.

Due largely to Covid restrictions the band Blackthorn from Vancouver has had to cancel their March 26 concert at Studio 64. Attempts to replace them have come up short for similar reasons. Therefore the Spring Series will now consist of three shows, April 16th, May 13th and a final concert in June with the date still to be determined.

Kimberley Studio 64 Spring Concert Series

The Spring Series currently has two shows booked and the Arts Council is working on booking a third. Melody Diachun Quintet brings a tribute to The Police to town on April 16 at 8 p.m. Following that are the Red Dirt Skinners on May 13.

Arts Council members - $90.00 or $33.00 per ticket per show
