Andreas David and some of his students from the West Shore Music Academy in Langford will be on stage together at Westhills Stadium on B.C. Day

When it comes to the arts, the West Shore is home to some truly world-class talent.

Just ask Andreas David, owner of West Shore Music Academy. Originally hailing from Germany, David arrived on the West Shore two years ago. A drum performer and instructor with over 30 years of experience, David immediately saw the opportunity the West Shore held for new businesses, opening the Academy in March of this year.

B次元官网网址淲e really like it here,B次元官网网址 he said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 pretty obvious that the communityB次元官网网址檚 growing and we think itB次元官网网址檚 the perfect balance between small town and big-city feel.B次元官网网址

David is just one of many local and regional acts taking the stage Aug. 4 at the B.C. Day Performing Arts Festival, a free all-day event at Westhills Stadium, sponsored in partnership by Westhills and the West Shore Arts Council.

The festival celebrates the talents of our region through a full day of performances, including music, theatre, dance, clowning, magic and more. The West Shore Music AcademyB次元官网网址檚 performance will feature a recital of a piano piece from a student and instructor duo, as well as David himself, performing with other instructors from the academy for the first time as a group.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 pretty excited to have a student performing B次元官网网址 thatB次元官网网址檚 our goal, to inspire young people to perform and learn,B次元官网网址 David said.
