Join us for a celebration of world music! The Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra presents an ensemble of musicians who introduce audiences to different cultures through their experiences, discoveries, and travels. Come hear music featuring the santur, setar, dan bau & daf tombak and then learn about these interesting instruments!
The Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra’s mission is to act as a forum for the creation of a new musical art form, one in which all of Canada’s resident cultures can take part. Through composition, performance and educational outreach to both music professionals and the general public, the VICO serves as a voice for Canadian composers and musicians of diverse backgrounds, and fosters the creation of musical works that fuse and transcend cultural traditions. The VICO’s composers and musicians are on the cutting edge, writing and performing the Canadian music of the future. VICO’s mission is to be a fresh and relevant voice in the contemporary music of our country…a creative force for innovation, diversity and understanding.
Join us for a performance and then stick around for a lecture to learn about their instruments. Adults and lecture-going children welcome!
