at the Firehall Theatre, South Street at Charles

Under the artistic direction of Matthias Maute and Sophie Lariviere. Ensemble Caprice is renowned for its innovative, entertaining and lively interpretations of baroque music. We are delighted to be bringing you this group, which for 20 years has received national and international acclaim for its performances of “exuberant panache and jaw-dropping virtuosity”.

Those currently, and those wishing to be Local Flavours members, as food producers, restaurants, citizens and markets of the region, will gather February 12 from 2pm-7pm at the Firehall Theatre in Gananoque to lay out plans for 2011 and beyond. They’ll continue to build capacity, programs and a food identity for the region. Lori Stahlbrand, CBC journalist and founder-president of Local Foods Plus, and Edward Pond, locavore and food photographer, will inspire a roundtable discussion to help guide the direction of Local Flavours for 2011, and beyond.

With a pot luck supper, top notch speakers, a great band, and hearty discussion; it will be an awesome evening! Admission is $5 for adults, free for children; the $5 will go towards Local Flavours membership fees if you choose to register. The meeting event is a great opportunity to renew membership in Local Flavours, or join for the first time – and perhaps to become a Friend of Local Flavours:

Friends of Local Flavours – $20.
