Join us at James Bay United Church for an incredible evening of music featuring two world-class guitarists: Aurora Orsini (Rome, Italy) and Josh Searles (Sunshine Coast, BC).

Aurora Orsini is a classical guitarist from Rome who has built a dynamic career as a touring artist, performing throughout Europe and the Americas. Among her most significant projects are a recent six-city tour in Peru — featuring concerts and masterclasses at major universities — and her upcoming Canadian tour in 2026, a new milestone in her expanding international career.

Josh J. Searles has spent a lifetime honing his craft across various genres and instruments. An acclaimed and award-winning classical guitarist, composer, and DJ, Searles’ international performance career began at the young age of 15. He has performed classical guitar in solo concerts and chamber music, French horn in quartets, orchestras, and concert bands, as well as his more avant-garde music: live electronica utilizing outboard synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, computers, and live instruments.

Tickets: $20 at the door (or $25 plus fees online)
