SUMMARY:Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra’s 95th Anniversary Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra celebrates 95 years of musical excellence with a special anniversary concert on May 18\, 2025\, at the Orpheum. The milestone event showcases the talent and dedication of 280 young musicians across all four VYSO orchestras\, from the foundational Debut and Junior Orchestras to the more advanced Intermediate and Senior ensembles.

Highlights from the repertoire include Carnival Overture by Oskar Morawetz — one of the most widely performed contemporary Canadian composers — and the revered Bramwell Tovey’s dynamic Sky Chase\, which was originally written for the VYSO and was last performed by the orchestra in 2017. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere is the homecoming of special guest soloist Joanna G’froerer\, the Principal Flutist of the prestigious National Arts Centre Orchestra and a VYSO alumna.

SUMMARY:Maestros of Afro-Cuban Jazz feat. Alain Perez Trio
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets for the MAESTROS OF AFRO-CUBAN JAZZ concert series and catch for the 1st time in Vancouver and direct from Cuba\, the ALAIN PEREZ TRIO. Join us for an evening of island-flavoured jazz with one of the greatest Cuban musicians of our time. \nSinger\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, producer\, arranger\, orchestra director\, and Grammy winner\, it’s hard to talk about Cuban-born music genius Alain Pérez without resorting to superlatives. He has worked alongside iconic figures such as Paco de Lucía\, Chucho Valdés & Irakere\, Celia Cruz\, Enrique Morente\, Diego El Cigala\, and many others. Alain Pérez was instrumental in revolutionizing contemporary Cuban music during the 90’s\, a decade that changed the country’s music forever\, and a period where he cemented his place as one of Cuba’s most gifted musicians. Today\, the very mention of his name prompts a reverence and a smile of joy\, because that’s what Alain Pérez has come to symbolize: the embodiment of the island’s rich and uplifting music. \n“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙪𝙗𝙖 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢 “𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙪𝙨” 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮\, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

SUMMARY:DanceHouse presents Diptych: the missing door and the lost room
DESCRIPTION:DanceHouse presents the BC premiere of Peeping Tom’s intriguing theatrical dream world Diptych: The missing door and The lost room\, on stage at the Vancouver Playhouse April 24-26\, 2025. The multiple-award-winning Belgian dance theatre company takes on a surreal and highly cinematic storytelling approach\, featuring extraordinary physicality and pushing the limits of movement with astonishing performances. The paired works of Diptych introduce audiences to a collection of odd and archetypal individuals in seemingly real and stable environments – a banal hallway and a ship’s cabin – only to slide into a mysterious and macabre labyrinth that defies all logic of time and space. The production deftly balances darkness with moments of absurd humour as the company delves into psychological depths to explore relationships\, subconscious fears\, and the nature of reality itself. \nDanceHouse will host a Pre-show Talk at 7:15pm ahead of each performance in the Upper Lobby\, and a Post-show Social following Friday’s performance in the Salon. \nFor tickets and further information\, visit: dancehouse.ca
