November Concert Listings
The VSOs November Concert Listings
Vancouver BC November brings cold weather and miserable rainy grey days to Vancouver but the VSO brings hot concerts and lots of joy and cheer to audiences around the Lower Mainland! There are several great concerts, beginning with Vancouver favourite Angela Cheng, who graces the Orpheum stage to perform Beethovens Piano Concerto No.3; a concert that also includes Dvoraks New World Symphony. Another season highlight is The Festival of Remembrance an inspiring series of concerts that commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the end of WWI. Cellist Raphael Wallfisch will be featured in the first two Festival of Remembrance concerts performing Blochs moving Hebraic Rhapsody at the Orpheum and in Surreys Bell Centre for the Performing Arts. The Festival concludes with one of the most important works of the twentieth century, Benjamin Brittens epic War Requiem featuring the Vancouver Bach Choir, Vancouver Bach Childrens Chorus, and three outstanding vocal soloists.
The world of Ballet comes alive with dancers from Goh Ballet in the second Pacific Arbour Tea & Trumpets concert of the season. Byron Stripling, a true Jazz and Blues master, will bring his immense talent to Vancouver again in the London Drugs VSO Pops concert Nothin But The Blues. Concerts for kids include Teddy Bears Music Picnic with entertainers Let Your Music Shine with Lisa and Linda and Al Simmons bringing his one-man, multi-prop performance to children in Somethings FishyĶwith Al Simmons. The month comes to a close with violin genius Corey Cerovsek, who returns home to perform the stunning Sibelius Violin Concerto.
