At the Museum: An evening of real Hawaiian music

Stephen Antle has visited Cortes Island most summers for the past 20 years. He started coming after a family sailboat trip through Desolation Sound.

“The last two days of that trip were spent at Manson’s Landing and Gorge Harbour. And we just said, ‘holy cow, we’ve got to check this island out!’ So the next summer we rented Cedar Moon (AirB&B) for the first of many years and came up for one or two weeks, pretty much every summer since.”

Antle is also the lead vocalist in a band that plays traditional Hawaiian music and this Thursday, August 31 at 6:30, he will be performing at the Cortes Island Museum.

Special Events this month at the Cortes Island Museum & Wild Cortes

The Cortes Island Museum is offering a full slate of special events this month

They start at 1 PM this Saturday, Aug 5, with Jewellery Identification. People are being invited to bring their own pieces. 

“I’ve got a small collection and  I’m going to at least bring some things that I have that I think are interesting.  We can go over the different types of materials, a little bit of the process of manufacturing and also go over the gems that are commonly found within pieces. We  even talk about  the time periods that the pieces have come from, as their stylistic choices in manufacturing basically,” explained Events Coordinator, Alex Woywitka.
