Three from Courtenay
There are three – count ‘em, three – great concerts from the Vancouver Island Music Festival in beautiful Courtenay BC tonight on Canada Live: Concert 1: Marc Atkinson Trio (pictured) Playing everything from Gypsy Swing to Russian rags, the virtuosic music of Victoria’s Marc Atkinson Trio warmly welcomed all listeners aboard an intriguing, exhilarating and unforgettable ride, without ever leaving the Grassy Knoll at the Vancouver Island MusicFest. Concert 2: Cassius Khan and Amika Kushwaha Cassius Khan is the world’s only professional performing artist who plays the tabla and sings Ghazals simultaneously; a phenomenon unheard of in the Indian classical music scene. He was accompanied on harmonium and with dance by Amika Kushwaha on the Island MusicFest’s peaceful Woodland Stage. Concert 3: Dirk Powell Band Dirk Powell is one of the world’s leading experts on traditional Appalachian fiddle and banjo styles. This “Renaissance Mountain Man”, who learned with his grandfather, entranced the crowd with a spirit and energy that rang out from the banks of the Tsolum River to snow topped Mount Washington.

Black-focused schools
A proposal to create Canada’s first black-focused public school was approved by toronto District School Board trustees Tuesday night. They have recommended the creation of an alternative school that features a curriculum and teaching environment oriented around black history and culture. The vote took place after an evening debate on the controversial proposal, which critics believe is a plan for segregation, while supporters believe it could keep more black students in school. Trustees heard from a number of delegations including academics, parents, teachers and students. Some parents have said they want to try something new because the current system isn’t working. As many as 40 per cent of black students don’t graduate from toronto high schools. Do you think Africentric schools are the right approach? What’s your view?
