About Eventide:

Eventide Music Series is a free, all ages, and locally focused music series presented each summer by CFUV, The City of Victoria, and a rotating cast of community curators. Since 2014, Eventide has provided performers and music lovers alike with low-barrier access to music and culture with a special focus on providing opportunities to independent, underrepresented, and emerging artists.

About CFUV:

CFUV is a volunteer based non-profit arts and media organization. CFUV provides students of the University of Victoria and non-student members of the wider community with access to an array of media learning and training opportunities. CFUV elevates and amplifies marginalized and underrepresented communities through the creation and presentation of audio programming, with a specific emphasis on local and Canadian Content.

As uninvited guests on W̱SÁNEĆ and Lkwungen territories now called Victoria, CFUV is indebted to the local communities who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. We recognize that colonization is an ongoing process and that our organization plays an active role in it. We commit to amplifying Indigenous stories, voices, and perspectives, to work together to disrupt colonial trajectories, support Indigenous sovereignty, and shape a more just future. CFUV commits to dismantling colonial hierarchies in support of a diverse, equitable future.
