We're not quite back to doing house concerts yet, but we recently started working with the Chabad Richmond synagogue to create some opportunities for young performers to play for their seniors. UBC masters student Zabrina Ng gave a wonderful show today of Schumann, Scriabin, and Brahms along with some popular hits by Billy Joel and Bee Gees. We look forward to future collaborations with Chabad!

We're very saddened to learn of the passing of Maestro Bramwell Tovey, Music Director Emeritus of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

As newcomers to the classical music community at the time, we really appreciated Maestro Tovey's presence at the performance of former VSO concertmaster Dale Barltrop and pianist Chiharu Iinuma in our house concert series in 2018, as it marked a pivotal moment for our young organization. He even shared an idea he had for a house concert with us, but sadly it never came to fruition.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends, as well as the countless others in the classical music world whose lives he has touched.

It was a magisterial performance by Robert Silverman of 15 Preludes and Fugues from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book I in last night's concert for Ukraine. His interpretations were so natural and musical that two hours seemed to fly by. And then he still had enough left to give encores of 3 more Preludes, garnering multiple standing ovations from the enthusiastic crowd.

Thank you to all our audiences for your support, our final fundraising tally for Canadian Red Cross looks to be just above $4200.
