Victoria residents, young and old, are celebrating Earth Day by creating a biodegradable blessing bundle, making a Bee Bomb, cleaning the neighbourhood or listening to a concert to explore our relationship with the natural world, today and Friday.

Lapp, artistic director of Victoria’s Chwyl Family School of Contemporary Music, says he hopes the concert provides a much-needed sense of connection, perhaps triggering memories of “those times when we could be together.” “It’s a way of carrying us through this particular season, which is going to be a tough one.” Lapp has pre-taped performances by nearly 150 students and alumni in his many student ensembles for the Victoria Conservatory of Music event, which will be packaged together for Home For Christmas’s two-hour broadcast on YouTube at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Many of the projects Lapp is involved with, including the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra, Folkestra!, the Joy of Life Choir, Fiddleharmonic, Old-Time DanceBand, the Shiny H’ornaments, the Strings of Lights and the Swing’n Shepherds will be featured on the program.
