Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (born 1974) is a Pakistani musician and primarily a singer of Qawwali, a devotional music of the Sufis. He is the nephew of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. In addition to Qawwali, he also performs ghazals and other light music. He has toured extensively and performed in Pakistan, India, and all around the world. Rahat was born in 1974 in Faisalabad, Punjab, into a family of traditional musicians.

Massey Theatre, located in New Westminster, opened in 1949 as British Columbia's largest theatre. Massey Theatre hosts musical theatre hits, international music and dance forms, children's entertainers, orchestras, choirs, ballets and stars of music. Governed as a registered non-profit charitable society run by an independent board of directors, Massey Theatre is neither a civic nor a school facility but a professional arts organization which works to support the performing arts throughout Metro Vancouver.
