Snotty Nose Rez Kids
2025-02-01 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Halifax) | Imperial Theatre, 12 King Square South, Saint John, Canada
Snotty Nose Rez Kids tore into the music scene with unmistakeable talent and an unforgettable name. Showing off their lyrical prowess and natural storytelling ability, Yung Trybez and Young D jumpstarted the band with two back-to-back albums in 2017. Their follow up album, 2019’s TRAPLINE, really launched their career with hit “Boujee Natives,” and multiple awards including their first Juno nomination. The band took their high voltage live show on the road and clocked 100 shows in 6 different countries. Their pandemic album, LIFE AFTER, saw greater industry recognition with multiple music magazine cover stories, and strong streaming platform support including Billboard advertisements in Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square, playlist cover images, and an Amazon Twitch Channel Takeover.
Taking the album on the road, the band toured 80 shows in support of the album across North America. They received their second Juno nomination and performed during the live broadcast. They were invited by The Toronto Raptors to play a half time show, and to the Vancouver Canucks to play in-between periods. Their 2022 project, I’M GOOD, HBU? elevated their career to new heights, and saw them receive their fourth Polaris Prize Shortlist, a win for top music video of the year at the Prism Prize Awards for their Beatles-inspired, DAMN RIGHT, and landed them 3 Western Canadian Music Awards, bringing their tally to 13 wins so far. SNRK have gone on to dominate in Hip-Hop music, most recently achieving their biggest milestone, signing to Sony Music. SNRK are blazing their own path, weaving together a musical fabric of hard-hitting lyricism, revealing stories about the struggles they and their people have encountered, empowering protest songs for the front lines, and a humor that keeps even the heaviest of topics something you can vibe to.

“Winter Kept Us Warm” Film Screening❄️🎬
2025-02-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Saint John Arts Centre
Join Chroma NB and Canadian Writer, Chris Dupuis, for a rare film screening of the original version of “Winter” with a Q&A session with Dupuis to follow. Released in 1965, Winter Kept Us Warm was a watershed moment in Canadian cinema. Filmed by a group of students on a shoestring budget, Winter Kept Us Warm is Canada’s first film to depict a gay romance. Directed by David Sector, a 22-year-old English major with no filmmaking experience, the film was an unexpected smash, scoring attention from big-name critics and a spot at the Cannes Film Festival. Sixty years after its release, Winter offers a uniquely heart-wrenching portrait of queer attraction when being gay was still a crime in Canada.
This year will mark Winter’s 60th anniversary, and author, Chris Dupuis, has published a detailed account of the film’s production.
Copies of “Winter Kept Us Warm” will be available for purchase at the screening.

Sarah Hagen: Goldberg Variations
2025-02-06 08:00 - 17:00, 2025-02-06 14:00 - 17:00 | Imperial Theatre, 12 King Square South, Saint John, Canada
Sarah Hagen brings this classic programme featuring Bach’s formidable Goldberg Variations as part of the celebration of the recent release of her recording of the masterwork.
Cherished by many, the Goldberg Variations are emblematic of keyboard virtuosity, rich expression, and hardcore classical interpretation. Sarah will offer a short introduction to this marvellous and intense piece before playing the full work.
“Canadian pianist Sarah Hagen’s Goldberg Variations are dramatically different. Naysayers and refusniks beware: her approach combines unfettered joy, wide awake with wonder, requisite pedagogy, and the ability to make the instrument bend to her will. The epic scope of the work is stated right out of the gate, with an extensive exploration of the Aria that opens the way to the variable tempi, harmonic adventure with unlimited changes in registration and emotion. Hagen’s performance combines vivid precision of touch with perfect articulation of line, making her Goldberg Variations something to absolutely die for.” – Whole Note Magazine
