Welcome to the 2020-2021 season of The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. This year marks the Symphony’s 42nd season, and Maestro Salvador Brotons’ 30th consecutive season leading the VSO! It is a privilege to have a world-class organization like the VSO call Vancouver home, and we’re grateful that we have been able to host such a pillar of culture for four decades! The VSO has been an integral part of our community, and we look forward to the Symphony continuing to perform and inspire us for many years to come. It serves many thousands of individuals each year through its concert and chamber series, local Young Artists annual competition, educational and community engagement efforts. The VSO is changing lives through music. Unfortunately, this season will look very different due to COVID 19 restrictions. Like many of us, VSO is adapting and making adjustments to its performance format. As such, their first few concerts will be live-streamed by a smaller orchestra without a live audience. As everything begins to open back up, VSO will be happy to welcome live audiences back to Skyview. While this season may look different than originally planned, it is sure to be just as brilliant. I can’t wait to see what is in store as our VSO adapts to the changing landscape of live performance. It is always a treat for my husband Terry and I calm down from a busy week of work and chores and lose ourselves in the joy of music. But mostly, I enjoy watching Maestro Brotons as he dances with the orchestra. His energy pours out over the stage and we’re rewarded with a beautifully choreographed performance. The VSO is building a legacy of leaders through music, education and community partnerships. Indeed, this promises to be an exciting experience for all of us. Enjoy the season! Welcome back, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra!

  • PHILIPPE QUINT Biography (Updated July 2016)
    PHILIPPE QUINT biography (updated July 2016) Lauded by Daily Telegraph (UK) for his “searingly poetic lyricism” violinist Philippe Quint is carving an unconventional path with his impassioned musical desire for reimagining traditional works, rediscovering neglected repertoire to commissioning works by contemporary composers. His dedication to exploring different styles and genres with an award winning discography has solidified him as one of the foremost violinists of today. Receiving several Grammy nominations for his two albums of Korngold and William Schuman Concertos, Mr. Quint is in constant demand worldwide appearing with major orchestras at venues ranging from the Gewandhaus in Leipzig to Carnegie Hall in New York. Philippe Quint plays the magnificent 1708 "Ruby" Antonio Stradivari violin on loan to him through the generous efforts of The Stradivari Society®. Highlights of the 2015/2016 season included performances with Colorado, Seattle & North Carolina Symphonies, Luzern’s Zaubersee Festival with pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin, and a first visit to Verbier Festival performing with Joshua Bell and Tabea Zimmerman among others. At the invitation of Maestro Vladimir Spivakov, Philippe opened the 28th edition of Colmar Festival dedicated to Jascha Heifetz with Tugan Sokhiev conducting the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse in a performance of Korngold Violin Concerto. Earlier this year he was part of the opening of Mary B. Galvin’s new hall in Chicago hosted by Renee Fleming. Winner of the “Ambassador of Arts” award in 2014, presented to Philippe by Brownstone and Gateway Organizations at the United Nations last March, his 2014-2015 season highlights included debuts with Seattle Symphony with Ludovic Morlot, Milwaukee Symphony with Edo de Waart, Kansas Symphony with Michael Stern, Vancouver Symphony with James Gaffigan, and returns to San Diego Symphony with Jahja Ling and Indianapolis Symphony with Krzysztof Urbanski.

  • Brit-Pop, Hiphop Und Supertramp-Hits Bei Der Night of the Proms 2017
    Am 14. Dezember 2017 in der Coque Brit-Pop, Hiphop und Supertramp-Hits bei der Night of the Proms 2017 Mit Roger Hodgson, dem ehemaligen Sänger von Supertramp, Melanie C, Culcha Candela, John Miles und Emily Bear stehen die ersten Künstler der diesjährigen Ausgabe der Night of the Proms fest. Ein weiterer Hauptact wird nach der Sommerpause bekannt gegeben. Zusammen mit dem Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra, dem Chor Fine Fleur und der NOTP Backbone Band präsentiert die Night of the Proms populäre Hits aus den letzen drei Jahrhunderten. Bei diesem außergewöhnlichen audiovisuellem Happening treffen Klassik auf Pop, Chucks auf Stilettos und Hiphop auf Tschaikowski. Nicht nur die Mischung aus Klassik und Popmusik macht die Night of the Proms zu einer Veranstaltung der besonderen Art. Auch das Publikum ist so bunt gemischt wie das Programm auf der Bühne. Und so vereint sich sowohl auf als auch vor der Bühne alles zu einer einzigartigen Melange, die für die tolle Stimmung im Publikum sorgt und den Abend zu einem unvergesslichen Event werden lässt. Denn die Veranstalter brechen nicht nur mit musikalischen Konventionen sondern inszenieren die Konzerte auch als Happenings, bei der sich der Jeansträger genau so wohl fühlt, wie der Gast in Anzug oder Abendkleid. Wer sich jetzt noch über den Namen des Orchester wundert, können wir beruhigen. Nach dem Wechsel des Taktstocks von Robert Groslot zu Alexandra Arrieche im letzten Jahr, hat sich unser bewährtes Orchester in Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra umbenannt, die ehemalige Electric Band firmiert jetzt unter NOTP-Backbone. Mit der diesjährigen Mischung der Rock- und Popacts setzt der Veranstalter auf Altbewährtes und Neues.

    Media Contact: Casey Blake 480-644-6620 [email protected] Thirteen-Year-Old Piano Super Talent Emily Bear to Perform Live at Mesa Arts Center With Cellist Zuill Bailey October 30 For Immediate Release October 9, 2014 Mesa, AZ – Thirteen-year-old piano prodigy Emily Bear, who has performed internationally in venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, will perform live with Zuill Bailey in Mesa Arts Center’s Piper Theater on October 30 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets available now at the Mesa Arts Center Box Office, mesaartscenter.com, or at 480-644-6500. In his illustrious career, Quincy Jones had seen it all – or so he may have thought before he came across Emily Bear. At thirteen, Emily is one of the most astonishing musical talents of our time – composing, orchestrating, and performing in a bewilderingly diverse collection of styles. She has been called the next Mozart. “She’s the most delightful human being I’ve ever met in my life,” Quincy Jones says. “And her music is the same way. I am at once astounded and inspired by the enormous talent that Emily embodies. With the ability to seamlessly move from Classical to Jazz and Be-bop, she shows as much musical prowess as pianists/composers twice her age, and I am thrilled to be working with her. She’s astounding, man ... she’s astounding. She plays like she’s 40 years old. She is the complete 360-degree package, and there are no limits to the musical heights she can reach.” Born Aug.
