The Met production of Carmen is coming on Saturday, January 16. Tickets, as you might imagine, have been selling briskly. To make sure everyone on Salt Spring has a chance to see this greatest of all operas, we have arranged to also show the encore broadcast on Saturday, March 13. So you now have two choices:
- Some tickets are still available for January 16
- We have just opened up all March 13 seats for sale.

Prices are the same for both the live broadcast and the encore presentation.

If you have already purchased tickets for Jan 16 and would like to exchange them for March 13, please just drop by the ArtSpring Ticket Centre any time when the box office is open. We will change your tickets and waive the customary $2 exchange service charge.

Have a happy New Year, and watch out for those gypsies – they’ll steal your heart like a song.

The Island Arts Centre Society has established an annual scholorship in memory of Maya Hoffman, a Salt Spring resident and child prodigy who won several awards as a pianist in her youth. The scholorship was created at the initiative of Lisa Cherry, a friend of Maya’s, to help other musically talented children reach their potential and fulfill their dreams by providing financial assistance toward piano lessons or other music education of their choice.

Scholorships will be awarded once a year, in late February. Applications should be forwarded to the ArtSpring Executive Director no later than February 15 of each year. As many scholorships, up to a maximum of $300 each, will be awarded each year as funds allow.
