Entertainment

Prince Rupert has always been home to some of the most interesting acts and performances, and the show this Thursday is no exception.

Last Saturday pianist Alexander Tselyakov graced Prince Rupert audiences at the Lester Centre of the Arts with his astonishing musical talents as part of the Prince Rupert Concert Society’s concert series.

The Alcan String Quartet played at the Lester Centre on Friday night to a small crowd of classical music lovers.

Celtic Night, the annual celebration of Irish culture, will take place at the Lester Centre of the Arts on February 26, and this year features some world class entertainment coming to Prince Rupert.

Starting last Friday, many locals took part in the Creative Jam 2011, a series of workshops on four fine-arts disciplines that were “jamming” on a common theme of “learn-create-improvize-perform” with a public presentation of the pieces created on Sunday.

Over the weekend 15 Rupertites showcased an arrangement of talents for “Prince Rupert’s Got Talent” that had competitors battling it out for the top prize of $1,000 while helping earn much needed funds for the Lester Centre of the Arts.
