ESBCHS Presents Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical

  • École Secondaire Beaumont Composite High School (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Roald Dahl’s Matilda comes to Beaumont’s ESBCHS Atrium—big songs, bold kids, imagination, rebellion, and girl power for all.

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn for a young actress, Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

Biboye Onanuga presents Low & Slow at the Yardbird Suite

The Edmonton-based drummer is joined by an iconoclast ensemble of local musicians, sensitive to the music of the moment.

Biboye invites you to bathe in the sea of transcendent, meditative vibrations for the modern age. Biboye embraces the abstract essence of instrumental music as a balm — ephemeral expression, cutting through the noise of our modern world. A world built for speed, but rarely in service of the pace at which we can best love and be loved.

The quintet’s setlist of original tunes and arrangements is inspired by avant-garde greats who eschew genre, strive for sonic innovation, and dive deep in every performance; Artists such as Ahmad Jamal, Alice Coltrane and the acoustic work of contemporary players Ambrose Akinmusire, Aaron Parks’ trio (Matt Brewer & Eric Harland), and drummer Craig Weinrib (w/Sam Harris).

Biboye Onanuga is a British-born, Nigerian-Canadian drummer, and imaginative composer. Steeped in the arts scene since high-school, he quickly became a sought-after player — recently completing his music degree at MacEwan University and already joining nationally-recognized artists such as Odario (of CBC Radio’s Afterdark) and Tanika Charles, as well as local mainstays Jim Head, and Mboya Nicholson, to name a few. Biboye has made meaningful contributions to the local scene through his instrumental hip-hop/jazz band (Good information), 3-year-tenure weekly music series (New Standards) and more recent Sunday Jazz series (Daze Days).
