About

Peter Shea and Juliet Dunn have been performing in the Niagara region and around the globe for years individually, and then when they met in 2006 they thought it would be a good idea to collaborate. This is when they formed the Shea D Duo. (Shay-D Duo) Since then they have performed worldwide together - from Morocco to Brazil, the Caribbean to Hong Kong. But they call Niagara home and can be seen playing year round throughout the Niagara Region.

In 2011 the duo co-created the "Twilight Jazz Series” now in its 9th season, and in 2014 they co-created the award-winning TD Niagara Jazz Festival, now entering its 7th season. Peter and Juliet also donate their time regularly to other local organizations and charities such as Hospice Niagara, Heart Niagara, Big Brothers and Sisters and more, and continue to play in their separate bands: The Peter Shea Trio, The Juliet Dunn Quintet, Le Trio Parisien, and the Kitt Cat Collective.

FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

Each Year the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre hosts Culture days Activities.

The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre is a large purpose-built cultural complex located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario. It opened in 2015 as the result of a partnership between the City of St. Catharines and Brock University, which share the venue for production, performance and learning purposes. It comprises four separate venues: a 770-seat concert hall (Partridge Hall), 300-seat recital hall, 210-seat multi-purpose dance/theatre venue (Robertson Theatre), and the 199-seat Film House.

The creation of the centre spurred a cultural and economic renaissance in downtown St. Catharines along with its neighbouring Meridian Centre and Brock University's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.
