LetB次元官网网址 not kid ourselves, aging is an inevitable fact of life whether we fight it or accept it.

This week at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, the Creative Aging Festival is a free gathering of 55-plus community members who enjoy engaging with their age group.
Activities include daily dance classes and workshops from tango to the tarantella with proficient professional dance educators.

On Thursday night the Crown and Thieves, on Brown Road in West B次元官网网址 open their speakeasy for a night of Gatsby-inspired music with non-other than yours truly, the Anna Jacyszyn Trio.

The concert is a mix of speakeasy-style jazz and popular music dipped in our own creative sauce with Loni Moger and Stefan Bienz creating the music.
