About Us

The town of Kitimat sprang into being in 1954 and the Kitimat Concert Association was formed and started presenting concerts by the fall of 1956. We have presented a varied concert season every year since then. Take a moment and check out our Concert History. We work with other presenters in the Northwest to develop artist’s tours. Being a small community at the end of a long road, we work with other presenting communities to provide sufficient performances to make a tour possible for entertainers and to share transportation costs.

We are a member of the BC Touring Council and we use the connections we make through that organization to find shows that are willing to tour to the remote areas of the province. The Kitimat Concert Association has won the BC Touring Council’s “Presenter of the Year” award twice since 2000. In 2001 it was presented to Heather Lundstrom, when she was President and in 2017 it was presented to Michael and Hazel Jeffery, when Michael was president.

Our directors are a hard-working group of volunteers, who make the presentation of the concerts seem effortless.

Our Mission

Doin’ what we like to do

Some out there think that concerts are all about opera and chamber music. That’s far from the truth. We do our very best to bring to Kitimat a broad cross-section of talent. There is something in the season for everyone. Come along and join us!

Mount Elizabeth Theatre 

Mount Elizabeth is a joint use facility funded by Coast Mountains School District #82 and the District of Kitimat. The MET is an intimate 512-seat performance facility serving both school and community users in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada.  MET is a professional, community style theatre that offers a practical and affordable venue for amateur and professional artists. The MET features a complete sound and lighting system, dressing rooms, and access to a grand piano. It is wheelchair accessible and has on-site parking. This excellent, acoustic, multi-use auditorium is ideal for theatrical productions, concerts, recitals, conventions, large meetings, and award ceremonies.

On Cue Players 

On Cue Players has been part of the fabric of Kitimat life for 30 plus years in one form or another.  As a community theatre group we’ve been responsible for skits and cabaret nights, English farce, pantomime and dinner theatre. We support Theatre BC by participating in the friendly competition of the Skeena Zone Festival. We provide young thespians with donations to assist with travel costs in order to participate in the youth drama zones.  The Pacific Northwest Music Festival receives two monetary donations from the club to support our young people in their participation in Speech Arts competitions and the club provides a number of small year end scholarships for students involved in the Kitimat Music Scholarship Society recitals.  Members of our group help with the Kitimat Arts For Youth sponsored summer drama camps so in one way or another – although we may not have a season of productions, On Cue Players and its members are active and always looking for new faces.

Treasurer – Tomas Bilina

I have been a resident of Kitimat since 1980, a director of KCA since 1998, and its treasurer since 2002. I like hiking, sailing, and traveling, books and music. Being involved with presenting live arts is for me just a very rewarding way of contributing to the quality of life in our small community which, in my opinion, is second-to-none.

Secretary – Moreno Guizzo

I love the theatre for many reasons. It is an escape from the sometime sour realities of life and it is an avenue to explore our own creative potential. Volunteering with the Kitimat Concert Assn. is rewarding and a way to contribute to our community. I find that attending a theatre performance is beneficial as an entertaining way to spend an evening and a way to extend my own horizons. 

Archives – Margaret Irvine

I have been a director of the Kitimat Concert Association since 1991. As archivist I have compiled many albums of our concerts, our receptions and all our activities.

Cyndi McIntosh – Member at large

I am a native Kitimatian and love music of all kinds. I have been with the Association for more years than I can remember and the fun has made those years fly by. Working with these great people is a joy. Over the years I have held a few positions. Currently I am the one sending out the emails and selling tickets in the lobby. 

Being a season ticket holder, I have been exposed to a variety of entertainment that I would not have seen if not for this group. I have found that concerts I enjoy the most are the ones I thought I wouldn’t! This is a comment I have heard many times! So glad I have a season ticket!

Green Room – Hazel Jeffery

I have been a season ticket holder since 2000 and became a director in 2002. I discovered I enjoy all types of performing arts. One of the wonderful aspects of being a director is going down to the BC Touring Councils conference and seeing the many showcases of the artists. The hard part is just picking 8 out of about 50 shows. I find it very rewarding when someone comes up to me and says how much they enjoyed the show and being a director is like being part of one big happy family.

Tickets – Libby Bizarro

Theatre and music have always been big loves of mine. From sitting in the MET for the first time at 9, I knew I needed to be involved in the theatre world. Over the years I have performed on that stage and sold many tickets for varying shows, now I am very excited to get involved with the Kitimat Concert Association.
