\n
\nThe May 6th concert, \u201cSky\u2019s the Limit,\u201d took place at St. Aidan\u2019s United Church and raised close to $2000. This concert featured an eclectic mix of blind and sighted musical performers, including: Sky Mundell, the 20-year-old deafblind winner of the Vancouver Island\u2019s Got Talent contest and a soon-to-be competitor in the Canada\u2019s Got Talent Contest; Lucas Haneman, a blind national award winning jazz guitarist from Montreal; Karen Christensen, self-taught blind base player and singer; Kaya Fraser, one of Canada\u2019s best new singer songwriters; Kristen Birley, international choral and solo singer; Stephanie Landucci, vocal and theatrical performer; and the Vancouver Island Chambre Choir.<\/p>\n

This concert also included an auction with items donated by Queen Victoria Hotel and Suites; Pearlbrite; Cosco; Country Grocer; Butchard Gardens, Ooh La La Cupcakes, and donations from friends and members of the CFB.<\/p>\n

The second concert on August 19, \u201cJazz it Up,\u201d raised $1000 for the organization and took place at Hermann\u2019s Jazz Club in Victoria. Lucas Haneman joined us once again, this time accompanied by his folk\/rock band, Robbie Sinclair & the Beggars Laughing, as part of their national CD release tour. We were also honoured to once again welcome Karyn Christensen, Kaya Fraser and Sky Mundell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
