They have attended The Royal Academy of Music (London), the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and The Victoria Conservatory of Music where they studied with Nancy Argenta.

The BC Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of extending the injunction filed by Teal Jones Ltd. against protestors at Fairy Creek, arguing that the previous court ruling, issued by Justice Thompson in September 2021, was lacking. We look into what this means for the ongoing protests at Fairy Creek and where the legal battle goes from here.  Today's episode is sponsored by the Victoria Conservatory of Music and the Royal BC Museum.  Get more stories like this in your inbox every morning by subscribing to our daily newsletter at CapitalDaily.ca   Check our membership opportunity at CapitalDaily.ca/Member  And subscribe to us on our socials!  Twitter @CapitalDailyVic    Instagram @CapitalDaily    Facebook @CapitalDailyVic

Not everyone can say they fired their music teacher at age 6 and then went on to compose music for a worldwide audience of 4 billion people! But Jan Randall can. Jan uses his "perfect pitch" to create, produce, direct and perform music for radio, film, television and live events (we'll let him tell you the story about the audience of 4 billion). His skills allow him to work where and when he wants. In addition to his many contract gigs in the entertainment industry, he currently teaches at the Victoria Conservatory of Music on Vancouver Island, Canada. On the outside, Jan Randall is a real person. But inside, he is a world of music. He doesn't "live" in a world of music. He IS a world of music. Jan may have started earlier than most on the road to his music career and that road has had its own unique collection of twists, turns and bumpy stretches ... but his success was no accident. He tells a compelling story about how his fine-tuned networking skills, plus a keen understanding of a producer's vision, can cause one gig to beget the next. As they say, one thing leads to another. As Jan's career challenges became a bit more complex, he was constantly learning, adapting and acquiring the necessary tools to more quickly identify and deal with opportunities and obstacles. You can learn a lot from Jan the mentor! Have a listen.

This week on the podcast, we bring you live music from Calgary’s own Boreal Sons. You don’t often hear bands boast about people falling asleep at their shows, but Boreal Sons are masters as orchestrating dreamy sonic landscapes. We’ll hear songs from their most recent album Threadbare, and some brand new songs from a forthcoming record that is set for release in the fall of 2016. Recorded live at Metro Theatre at the Victoria Conservatory of Music during Breakout West, featuring Regan Mclean on bass and vocals, Zachary Schultz on percussion, and Evan Acheson on lead vocals and keys, enjoy this set of great live songs by a Calgary favourite.

As every entrepreneur will tell you the phrase “in sickness and in health” applies equally to your marriage and your company. But when your organization is doing poorly, it affects more than your bottom line. It affects employee morale and your ability to bring about change. Jane Butler McGregor took over the Victoria Conservatory of Music at just such a time for this venerable old organization and within 4 years brought it back to financial health. She shares her secrets with me, as well as what she learned from one of Canada’s best known entrepreneurs that she carries with her to this day.
