Barney Bentall at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre celebrates ten years of entertainment with a live-streamed show starring Barney Bentall not to be missed!

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre is ten years old in October! And what a decade it has been! From the opening gala in 2010 to the spectacular performance by Bria Skonberg last Fall celebrating our 10th Season kicked off, The Centre has truly become the place “Where Art Comes to Life!” And we are ready to celebrate!

For the past decade, the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society has brought an incredible selection of shows to the community. Audiences have been entertained in both the HUB International Theatre and the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre with a variety of performances that range from sensational theatre to thrilling music concerts. From outrageous fringe shows to classical and contemporary dance. And from mystifying magic to adventure films and shows for kids. 

As the home of the Chilliwack Academy of Music, the building studios are often overflowing with the sounds of music, adding to the ambience as the Academy grows the music community in our area.

The partnership that is enjoyed with the Chilliwack Players Guild has seen many vibrant productions on the theatre stages over the years, delighting both performers and patrons.

The O’Connor Group Art Gallery, curated by the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association, and located in The Centre, is continually providing a delightful space for the public to come to view incredible, inspiring works of art – free of charge.

Both CSOPA (Chilliwack School of Performing Arts) and the Chilliwack Lions Music & Dance Festival each year have animated the stages with awe-inspiring talent from young performers.

With many more live events than could possibly be listed here, the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society overflows with pride at the connection that has been made between artists and the community and will continue to do so once the current crisis has passed.

So let’s celebrate ten years of incredible talent coming to perform in our town with the one of a kind Canadian rock legend Barney Bentall on October 3 commemorating The Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s milestone anniversary in a live-streamed performance that is free for everyone to enjoy!

Canadians first met Barney Bentall in the late ’80s as leader of the Legendary Hearts when MuchMusic embraced an indie video of the heartland anthem “Something to Live For”. A frequent collaborator with Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo, Barney’s reputation as a poignant songwriter, has had him join a circle of peers that includes Blue Rodeo, K.D. Lang, The Tragically Hip, Colin James, 54.40, and The Odds. Barney remains very much part of the fabric of Canadian music culture. Bentall has performed at The Centre in the past and is thrilled to help celebrate a decade of live entertainment!

While these are challenging times, the arts are alive, and this celebration of live entertainment is sure to be an evening you won’t soon forget. Join the live stream and spend an incredible evening with Barney Bentall as he sweeps you up into the narrative of his songs with a rich voice that splendidly brings them to life.

While tickets are sold out, this performance is one that the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society wants to share with all of you, as the success over the last ten years would not have been possible without the support of the community.
