Because of the pandemic 2021 Biddeford WinterFest was cancelled. However, a number of participants got together for a Biddeford 2021 WinterWeek with virtual events. City Theater did not want to miss the opportunity. 

Joe Boucher's annual concert at Winterfest had featured the Biddeford High School Jazz Band and chorus and a portion of the proceeds went to support BHS Music. 

City Theater contacted Joe and Local Access TV to enlist their support and the result is a virtual sols concert with Joe Boucher filmed at City Theater. And to benefit Biddeford High School music.

The show will be available from Thursday February 18 - Sunday February 21st with tickets for the show available on City Theater's website with a suggested donation of $10.
