its brand-new exhibition, Fossils, Fins and Fangs: Dinosaurs and
Other Ancient Life. The exhibition will only be here
until January 7, 2009.
The exhibition is a look at all types of fossils including dinosaurs,
plants and fish. What makes this exhibition really cool is that
most of the fossils are real, not just casts or replicas and you
can even touch some of them. Imagine being able to touch a fossil
that dates back millions of years. We've also got a full-sized
T. rex skeleton replica of a real T. rex that was unearthed named
STAN, one of the most famous T. rexes in the world.

Honoring
Mary's and Maria's in Opus
Vancouver
– Creating an opus to honor Mary's' and Maria's is how
a local woman will raise funds for the BC Cancer Society. Natalia
Pardalis a Trinity Western University Arts Major, lost her mother
Maria and her aunt Mary Pardalis to cancer and so she brainstormed
the idea for a fundraiser. She now leads the task of orchestrating
the musical performance to honor these two special women she
once had in her life, and to share the music inspired by them
with others.
"An
evening of enchanted songs and original music" is how Natalia
describes the event that will feature her good friend TWU Alumni
Soprano Heidi Lynn Peter, who recently was featured in a series
of concerts in Italy and Germany. What makes the night even
more special is that it will be the first time a song written
to honor her mother and aunt will be performed. Written by Dr.
David Squires, Dean of Fine Arts at Trinity Western, the composition
titled Maria's Song is a work with much intended emotion, as
Squires identified with the pain of loosing a loved one to cancer.
Natalia is thrilled that one of her mentors wrote the original
composition.
On top of
organizing the entire event, Natalia will do what she does best
and that is play the piano, a talent she learned from mother.
Natalia explains that her playing the piano makes this unique
fundraiser even more sentimental, and reflects perfectly on
how much of an influence her mother had on her growing up. In
addition to having such a musical influence on her daughter,
she taught Natalia a valuable lesson, which was that no musical
mistake is mistake but rather a journey on the road to making
beautiful music.
Maria's
Opus is on for one night November 16, 2008 at 8pm at the Hellenic
Community Centre of Vancouver – 4500 Arbutus Street. Tickets
are only $20 and benefit the BC Cancer Foundation, t. To purchase
please call 604 783 4091

Honoring
Mary's and Maria's in Opus
Vancouver
– Creating an opus to honor Mary's' and Maria's is how
a local woman will raise funds for the BC Cancer Society. Natalia
Pardalis a Trinity Western University Arts Major, lost her mother
Maria and her aunt Mary Pardalis to cancer and so she brainstormed
the idea for a fundraiser. She now leads the task of orchestrating
the musical performance to honor these two special women she
once had in her life, and to share the music inspired by them
with others.
"An
evening of enchanted songs and original music" is how Natalia
describes the event that will feature her good friend TWU Alumni
Soprano Heidi Lynn Peter, who recently was featured in a series
of concerts in Italy and Germany. What makes the night even
more special is that it will be the first time a song written
to honor her mother and aunt will be performed. Written by Dr.
David Squires, Dean of Fine Arts at Trinity Western, the composition
titled Maria's Song is a work with much intended emotion, as
Squires identified with the pain of loosing a loved one to cancer.
Natalia is thrilled that one of her mentors wrote the original
composition.
On top of
organizing the entire event, Natalia will do what she does best
and that is play the piano, a talent she learned from mother.
Natalia explains that her playing the piano makes this unique
fundraiser even more sentimental, and reflects perfectly on
how much of an influence her mother had on her growing up. In
addition to having such a musical influence on her daughter,
she taught Natalia a valuable lesson, which was that no musical
mistake is mistake but rather a journey on the road to making
beautiful music.
Maria's
Opus is on for one night November 16, 2008 at 8pm at the Hellenic
Community Centre of Vancouver – 4500 Arbutus Street. Tickets
are only $20 and benefit the BC Cancer Foundation, t. To purchase
