We are enjoying the busy spring concert season! Last night The Lord Byng Symphony Orchestra treated its audience to a fantastic program of Glinka, Mozart, and Dvořák. Soloists Dorothy Tam, Ryan Kuang, Amanda Na, and Melody Yuan were all amazing!

Tonight was a special 50th anniversary concert for the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, with violinist Nancy DiNovo. Shaughnessy Heights United Church was resonating with the music of Rimsky-Korsakov (Procession of the Nobles), Barber (Violin Concerto Op.14), and Mahler (Symphony No.1).

This week we look forward to violin and piano sessions at West Point Grey United Church and Vancouver Academy of Music. On Friday evening the West Coast Symphony Orchestra is at Canadian Memorial United Church, featuring violist Yariv Aloni.

Also, we've now finished all of the videos from UBC A Ca****la's spring concert. You can find them on YouTube, including the big finale, "Bohemian Rhapsody"!
