WELCOME to Sounds & Furies Productions!

Sounds & Furies is a small yet diversified business producing concerts, workshops, retreats and special events throughout the year, mostly in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

My name is Pat Hogan, the producer, schemer and dreamer of Sounds & Furies' events. There are many people behind the scenes as well who contribute in so many ways. My thanks to all past, present and future volunteers and supporters. Sounds & Furies wouldn't happen without you.

The 4TH Annual Westcoast Gathering and Conference of Lesbians 50 Years & Older is happening September 4-7, 2008 at the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver! Lesbians of all ages are welcome. For a wrap up of the 2007 conference, click HERE.

Sounds & Furies' concerts feature established musicians like Ferron, Heather Bishop,Cris Williamson and Ellen McIlwaine plus many other known and lesser known performers, including young and upcoming artists. Our comedy shows have highlighted the very funny talents of Elvira Kurt, Suzanne Westenhoefer and Kate Clinton.

For local businesses and organizations who want to target their advertising to the Sounds & Furies audiences, we are pleased to offer a customized and very affordable sponsorship program.

If you are interested in being a volunteer at Sounds & Furies concerts or other events, please see the information on the concert page.

Our workshops and retreats focus on topics ranging from drumming to dream exploration, Wicca, author readings and films.

Occasionally, a Sounds & Furies event works in collaboration with a community group to raise money for worthwhile organizations. For instance, the very popular annual Women's Winter Faire, has raised over $58,000 in the past 14 years for several organizations which can be viewed, along with details of this year's dates and venues, on the Women's Winter Faire Page.

Each Sounds & Furies event has a particular ambience, whether an evening, weekend or week long event. For these moments in time, we come together to share a pleasurable evening of entertainment or a workshop focusing on our common interests or concerns. THIS is the heart and soul of Sounds & Furies -- friendships, alliances , common political and cultural interests. Together, we create community.

What communities?

• the women's community
• the LGBT community
• the folk music community
• the Wiccan community
• the arts community
• the environmental community
• the service-oriented and healing communities


And other groups and individuals who care about the well being of others and planet Earth.
