The weather's turning cold, and Remembrance Day is just around the corner. Here are five things for you to check out in Hamilton this weekend.
In Remembrance: Fanfare for the Common Man
The Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra is putting off this concert alongside The Pipes and Drums of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and The Regimental Band of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry on Saturday night.
The program displays the "honour, valour and transcendent beauty of the symphonic style."
The orchestra says the show honours Hamilton's veterans and military families, and features the well-known and loved Adagio for Strings and Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man.
An "Inside the Music" pre-concert talk by Maestro Gregory Vajda begins at 6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
You Were My Friend
If you're a theatre buff, head to the Pearl Company for You Were My Friend, a new drama by Hamilton-based playwright Adam Riggio.
It depicts the "financial, personal, and moral strains we experience simply trying to live a dignified life in our harsh world." The play runs from Nov. 7 to Nov. 22 and admission is $20.
Friday and Saturday's shows start at 8 p.m.
The Soul Motivators
The Soul Motivators – a nine-piece deep funk ensemble – are in town at This Ain't Hollywood Friday night.
Expect a high energy, bombastic live show, backed up by DJ LP.
Tickets are $10 at the door, and the show starts at 10 p.m.
Walking Proof
As part of the Hamilton Film Festival, check out Walking Proof at the Zoetic Theatre Friday night at 7 p.m.
Walking Proof takes you behind the scenes during the making of an album. The festival calls it "a must for music lovers and those curious about capturing the creative process."
The Beautiful West
The Hamilton Coalition To Stop The War, McMaster Muslims for Peace and Justice and Solidarity With Palestinian Human Rights are presenting the launch of a new Canadian novel called The Beautiful West on Saturday at Homegrown Hamilton.
The plot unfolds in Montreal and Cairo in 2008 and involves three families who all suddenly have to face the security forces.
Author Michael Springate will read passages from the novel, answer questions, and autograph copies.
The book will be on sale for $25 at the launch at 3 p.m., and admission is free.
