Capella Regalis Men & Boys Choir @ Trinity Anglican Church
May 24 @ 7:00 pm

The Astor Theatre is pleased to present this special choral performance at The Trinity Anglican Church, in partnership with Musique Royale.

Capella Regalis Men and Boys Choir, founded in Nova Scotia by Nick Halley in 2010, builds upon the best aspects of the centuries-old European tradition of men and boys church choirs.

The concert will highlight favourites from the sacred and secular choral canon.

Tickets are available through The Astor box office or online from Ticketpro and are priced at $25 in advance or $30 on the day of the show.

The concert will take place at the Trinity Anglican Church – doors open at 6:30 and seating is general, so arrive early to claim your seat.

Jimmy Rankin’s Kitchen Party – Spring 2022 Edition @ Astor Theatre
May 28 @ 7:30 pm

Just at a time when people are searching out authentic cultural voices, who tell strong stories and write well-crafted songs, Rankin has made an unapologetically East Coast folk-rock record. It’s his take on what it means to live and breathe Maritime tradition, culture and music, but with a raw, unsentimental and current edge. “I’m putting the party back in the kitchen” quips Rankin.

It’s called Moving East because that’s exactly what Jimmy’s done. He’s moved back to Nova Scotia after seven years living and working in Nashville. Hooking up with fellow Nova Scotian Joel Plaskett as producer, he’s made an album appealing to young and old alike, with songs running the gamut from gritty pub tunes to soulful ballads all featuring great storytelling, and fine songwriting.

Join Jimmy and his selected guests when he brings his Kitchen Party to Liverpool on May 28th.

Tickets are $40 and go on sale on Friday February 4th at 11am in the box office and online.
