A choral conductor, a photographer and an animator are among the presenters who will talk about their passions at PechaKucha Coquitlam Volume 6 next week.
ArtsConnect, which hosts the regular event, which features 10 short slideshows, has several interesting people lined up for the display, which runs on Monday at 7:30 p.m. at Evergreen Cultural Centre as part of PechaKucha Global Cities Week. PechaKucha is Japanese for "chit chat."
"I'm going to talk about my journey and share my experiences of choral music and how it has helped me to find my identity," said Hussein Janmohomed, 42, who will present his work in six-and-a-half minutes.
Janmohomed, a Coquitlam resident who is also a composer and music educator, has performed with some of Canada's finest choirs, including the Chor Leoni Men's Choir, Laudate Singers and the National Youth Choir of Canada. He is the co-founder of the Vancouver and Canadian Ismaili Muslim Youth Choirs, and has conducted choirs for audiences across Canada and before the Aga Khan and former governor general Adrienne Clarkson.
Other PechaKucha presenters scheduled to appear include: Francesca Anastasi, dance instructor/choreographer/performer; Steve Cady, animator/mentor; Marilyn Medén, idea explorer; and Adam Popowitz, musician/producer.
Tickets cost $12 for PechaKucha Coquitlam Volume 6 and are available at the Evergreen box office (1205 Pinetree Way) or by calling 604-927-6555, or visiting www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
