<p>Vancouver Island&nbsp;attracts an incredible variety of people, and the Civic Orchestra's first concert of their 31st season will be a wonderful opportunity for&nbsp;our community to experience some of the world-renowned&nbsp;talent that resides in our area. The orchestra's&nbsp;<em>Sounds of Europe</em>&nbsp;concert on November 8th will feature&nbsp;guest conductor, Jim Stubbs, and bassoon soloist, Lauren Stubbs, who currently reside on Salt Spring Island. &nbsp;Both Jim and Laurie have impressive and extensive musical careers, and they now lend their musical knowledge and talents&nbsp;to local ensembles like the Civic Orchestra. &nbsp;The Civic Orchestra is thrilled to have Jim and Lauren's vast expertise and talent to draw from for this performance!<br /> <br /> The Civic Orchestra's members are also a hub of local talent, with players ranging from students to professionals, all volunteering their time to the ensemble. The orchestra provides an opportunity for these local musicians to perform a wide repertoire of orchestral music, and also serves as a platform for aspiring soloists, conductors, and choral groups.<br /> <br /> Jim Stubbs&nbsp;has performed with the Civic Orchestra a number of times as trumpet soloist for the Annual Sing-Along Messiah concert. &nbsp;He has had an illustrious career as a trumpet player, with performances ranging from Israel Philharmonic Orchestra to Carnegie Hall. &nbsp;He has worked with a wide range of conductors&nbsp;including Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, and Leopold Stokowski. &nbsp;He currently applies the lessons learned from these conducting greats to his own ensembles, Bach on the Rock's Salt Spring Chamber Orchestra and Choir, and&nbsp;the Salt Spring Chamber Players. &nbsp;</p>=0D=0A=
<p>The Vivaldi <em>Bassoon Concerto</em>&nbsp;will be performed by Lauren&nbsp;Stubbs, whose distinguished career as a bassoonist&nbsp;includes performing as Principal Bassoonist with the American Composers' Orchestra, the Opera Orchestra of New York, and the National Ballet of Canada, among others. &nbsp;She has also performed and recorded frequently with the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. &nbsp;Lauren now lives on Salt Spring Island with her husband, Jim, and also performs with the Salt Spring Chamber Players and accompanies Bach on the Rock.</p>=0D=0A=
