Keys To Our Success is a $100,000.00 fundraising campaign to purchase a concert piano for Dave Dunnet Community Theatre. These funds are held in Oak Bay Concert Piano Fund.

Dave Dunnet Community Theatre is located in Oak Bay High School at 2121 Cadboro Bay Road in Victoria. Boasting a large stage and exceptional acoustics, this 421-seat theatre is perfect for music, theatre and dance. Perhaps that's the reason for the growing interest and support from performing arts organizations including Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival, Victoria Jazz Society, Victoria Summer Music Festival and others.

Dave Dunnet Community Theatre has everything to please performers and audiences alike; everything except a concert piano. Acquisition of a concert piano will encourage and support additional community and commercial use of this outstanding recital/concert venue.

Oak Bay High School Alumni Association, Oak Bay Rotary Foundation, Oak Bay High School, Greater Victoria School District and District of Oak Bay have joined forces to create Oak Bay Concert Piano Committee.

Oak Bay Concert Piano Committee is comprised of: Joseph Blake; Lorna Curtis; Jan Hemming; Steve Price; Rod Sim; and Dave Thomson.

On September 11, 2016, Oak Bay Concert Piano Committee presented PIANORAMA at Dave Dunnet Community Theatre. Featuring Louise Rose, Toni Blodgett, Arthur Rowe, Karel Roessingh, Julia Zhu, Brent Jarvis, Jan Stirling, and (making a surprise appearance to the delight of the audience) Michael Kaeshammer, PIANORAMA was a celebration of piano and community.

Oak Bay Concert Piano Committee wishes to acknowledge and thank Dave Cornock, Gregg Eligh Photography, Fairway Market, Lysander Properties, Miriam MacPhail, Oak Bay Beach Hotel, Oak Bay Copy Centre, Oak Bay News, Oak Bay Pharmasave, Recreation Oak Bay, Scotiabank Oak Bay, and Tom Lee Music for their many contributions to PIANORAMA and Keys To Our Success.
