Reviewer Alexander M

There is something especially comforting about the Tea and Trumpets Series, and this afternoon’s program leaned into that sense of familiarity of film scores. With Christopher Gaze as host and Maestro Trevor Wilson conducting, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra offered an afternoon that felt both relaxed and thoughtfully put together, inviting the audience to revisit some of the cinematic world’s most memorable musical moments.Full review

Reviewer Alexander M

On Friday evening, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts transformed its Telus Studio Theatre, known for its three tiers of loge seating, into an intimate sanctuary for the SUBA Trio. The event featured a general admission layout, with tables placed throughout the centre of the hall. As the doors opened, the lobby buzzed with patrons carrying refreshments into a space softened by a "mist" of theatrical smoke. Full review
