TZIMMES- Jewish Classical Music Trio at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Sunday Oct 31, 2010
Music
TZIMMES
Sunday October 31, 2pm-3pm
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, 578 Carrall
A Yiddish word for a sweet culinary concoction, tzimmes, made from a variety of honey, raisins, carrots and prunes, is a perfect complement to the main course of a Jewish feast. This is a wonderful description of the group Tzimmes who will share an afternoon of music in Vancouver’s classical Chinese garden. Original in concept and sound, Tzimmes had its beginnings in Victoria and has played for enthusiastic audiences within and outside the Jewish community for over twenty years. The concert trio consists of: Moshe Denburg, vocals and guitar; Yona Bar-Sever, bass, guitar and hand percussion; and Saul Berson, saxophone, clarinet and flute. Tzimmes is at the forefront of the multi-faceted approach to Jewish music making today. (www.tzimmes.net) For Garden information phone 604-662-3207 or go to www.vancouverchinesegarden.com.

The Rev. Chan Family Legacy: Five Generations of Vancouver Chinese History 1888 to 2007 at the 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Thursday Oct 28, 2010
THE REV. CHAN FAMILY LEGACY: Five Generations of Vancouver
Chinese History 1888 to 2007
Thursday October 28, 7:30pm
Chinese Cultural Centre Museum & Archives, 555 Columbia
The Chan family first came to Canada to help start the Chinese Methodist Church and every generation since has made contributions to Canadian society. In 2007, filmmaker Halya Kuchmij interviewed members of one of the oldest families on the West Coast and made a documentary about the stories and achievements of Reverend & Mrs. Chan, their sons Luke Chan (Hollywood actor) and Jack Chan (golfer); grandchildren Helen Lee and Victor Wong (WW2 veteran); great-grandchildren Gary Lee (entertainer) and Janice Wong (artist); and great-great grandchildren Todd Wong (community and cultural activist) and Tracey Hinder (high school student). The many turns of the Chan family reflect the challenges of exclusion, the fight for rights, the strength of family and citizenship, and the right to vote. The festival is pleased to show The Chan Legacy, directed by Halya Kuchmij, from the CBC Learning Generations Series (2007, 43:37) and we are fortunate to have Todd Wong moderate the conversation afterwards. Todd is a descendent of Reverend Chan and the creator of Gung Haggis Fat Choy, the annual celebration of Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns Day (www.gunghaggisfatchoy.com) – an event that marries two cultures that once lived completely separate in the early days of British Columbia. Everyone welcome.
