The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s 2007/2008 Season
The VSO’s 2007/2008 Season began September 29th, with
Maestro Bramwell Tovey, violinist Sarah Chang, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in
E minor, and Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No.2. The upcoming season features a
characteristically strong line-up of guest artists mixing the next generation of
stars with long-established superstars and local favourites, great classical
repertoire both new and old, sizzling Symphony Pops, matinees, and a range of
concerts for children and families. And the VSO once again travels throughout
the Lower Mainland to perform in fourteen different venues.
In addition to all the great classical concerts, the 2007/2008 Symphony Pops
series could be the best one yet. The series features the extraordinary trumpet
player/vocalist Byron Stripling, legendary Cincinnati Pops conductor Erich
Kunzel, the Latin sizzle of the Mambo Kings, the sounds of Motown with Spectrum,
a “Cool Britannia” show with Maestro Tovey, and of course, Principal Pops
Conductor Jeff Tyzik.
Matinee traditions continue to see audience growth every year: Symphony Sundays
presents classical concerts in the afternoon, drawn from the main series
classical series; and Tea & Trumpets, featuring narrator Christopher Gaze – with
tea and cookies served in the lobby one hour before each concert – includes
light classics mixed with narration.
Concerts for kids and families are always popular, with Tiny Tots for the little
ones from toddlers to age four or five at both the Playhouse Theatre in
Vancouver and the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam, and Kids’ Koncerts,
featuring the full orchestra and aimed at children from four/five to ten/eleven
years of age.
And of course, a Symphony Season would not be complete without presentations of
great Special Concerts.
