Before Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House, Yo-Yo Ma heard a 16-year-old Avan Yu play and decided the world needed to hear more of him, too.

Good instinct, Yo-Yo. Swipe to meet the pianist coming home to open our 24th season. 🎹🎶

Twenty years since Ken & Avan first shared this stage. Twenty percent off if you book before Thursday. Coincidence? We think not. 👀

Vancouver’s own Avan Yu returns to where it all began, under the baton of the conductor who led his professional debut two decades ago. Together they open VMO’s 24th season with Chopin, Ravel, and De Falla.

Here’s to 10 years, and many more to come. 🎻🌇

Thank you to everyone who made VMO’s 10th Annual Free Outdoor Concert possible: our sponsors and supporters, our incredible musicians, our dedicated volunteers, and every one of you in the crowd.

This concert is free because a whole community believes in live music for everyone. We couldn’t be more grateful.

More people turned out this year than ever before, and it meant the world to see so many faces at Jack Poole Plaza.

We can’t wait to see you again at our 24th Season Opening Concert at the Orpheum on September 20th!

Twenty years ago, Ken Hsieh and Avan Yu shared the Orpheum stage for the first time. This September, they’re back together to open VMO’s 24th season. 🎹🎻

Join us for an afternoon of Chopin’s dazzling Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise, Ravel’s witty Piano Concerto in G, his elegant Le Tombeau de Couperin, and the fiery ballet suite from De Falla’s El Amor Brujo.
