PHS Speaker Series: The Lighthouses of Upper Canada and Canada West

In the era before the GPS, the lighthouses scattered along the shores of the Great Lakes were the one reliable way of determining where a ship was at night.  While the American lights were built and managed by the federal government, on the Canadian side these were the responsibility of the government of Upper Canada and later the Bureau of Public Works of the united Province of Canada.  In an era dominated by massive government spending on canals, the lighthouses are often overlooked as a critical part of the safe transport of local products to distant markets.  A remarkable number of these pre-Confederation structures still survive.Walter Lewis is an award-winning maritime historian and frequent speaker, specializing in the history of Great Lakes region.  

A graduate of Queen's University and the University of Toronto, he has served on the editorial boards of both Fresh Water and is the executive editor of   The Northern Mariner. In 1990 he took up scuba diving as part of the research for The River Palace, co-authored with Rick Neilson of Kingston.  

His website, MaritimeHistoryOfTheGreatLakes.ca is recognized as one of the richest resources for those doing research in the history of the Lakes. He has presented to a wide range of audiences, including the Peterborough Historical Society back in 2015.

PHS Speaker Series to be held Tuesday May 20, 7:30 p.m. at the Peterborough Lions’ Centre on Burnham Street. Admission is free and so are the light refreshments.

Peterborough Symphony Orchestra Presents: Step into the Light

24
7:30 PM19:30

Peterborough Symphony Orchestra Presents: Step into the Light

The May 24th concert, “Step into the Light” marks the finale of the 2024-2025 season.

Pieces by composers Arvo Pärt, Kelly-Marie Murphy and Gustav Mahler will be presented. Harpist Valérie Milot and cellist Stéphane Tétreault will partner up to perform Canadian composer Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Double Concerto for harp and cello.

Soprano Christina Raphaëlle Haldane will join the orchestra to showcase Mahler’s Fourth Symphony. This symphony is described as one of Mahler’s most accessible and lyrical works, often described as his most "classical" symphony in structure and mood—especially when compared to the larger, more tumultuous works that precede and follow it.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Arrive 45 minutes early and you will be treated to the “Meet the Maestro” informative and entertaining pre-concert talk that will give you a preview of the music you will hear. The concert takes place at Emmanuel United Church.

To learn more about the concert, purchase tickets or to check out the Maestro’s suggested playlist to whet your appetite, visit https://thepso.org/step-into-the-light. Student tickets are only $12 and regular single ticket prices range from $33 - $55.

Peterborough Theatre Guild Presents: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (May 1)

Peterborough Theatre Guild Presents: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph.

After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife.

While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh.

The magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”), to country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”) and calypso (“Benjamin Calypso”), along with the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.”

Appropriate for all audiences and groups, Joseph is performed hundreds of times a year by schools across North America, the U.K. and around the world.
