The United Nations of Music! The opening night sets the festival’s tone with the Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra, one of the few orchestras in the world that assembles so many different communities. On the program: five works reflecting many journeys where compositions, musicians and instruments invite us to move to the rhythm of this Western Canadian cosmopolitan city. Immersing us in new shades of contemporary music, between East and West, this opening night represents… openness, reminding us that music knows no borders.
