monday, 28 february: VSO Dr. Atomic Symphony
Maestro Tovey presides over the Canadian première of the exciting Dr. Atomic Symphony by John Adams, in a symphonic concert that also features Mahler's beautiful, heartbreaking Adagio from Symphony No. 10. Music from across the centuries, these magnificent works were composed almost two hundred years apart. Visit http://www.vancouversymphony.ca for tickets and information.

Wednesday, 2 March: legally blonde - the musical
Sorority star Elle Woods doesn't take "no" for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. Legally Blonde The Musical will take you from the sorority house to the halls of justice with Broadway's brightest new heroine (and of course, her chihuahua, Bruiser). The verdict? This much fun shouldn't be legal! Bend and snap! Tickets are available online or by calling 1-855-985-5000.
thursday, 3 March: The pillowman
The Pillowman, by Martin McDonagh, is an eerily dark black comedy about a writer, taken into police custody when a series of real-life killings start to resemble some of his stories. It's clever, brash, hilarious and deserving our four star review. Aaron Hursh and Ryan Biel give astonishing performances in this dark, dark comedy. Not suitable for the kids. Visit http://www.wildgeesecoop.com for more information.
friday, 4 March: firebird 2011
The Turning Point Ensemble is one of Canada's leading large chamber ensembles with a mandate of linking the present to great works of music from the past.
