Vancouver Symphony Orchestra

October 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 16, 22, 24, 29, 31

Since 1919, the VSO has been making beautiful music for aficionados and newcomers alike. The musicians travel all around Metro Vancouver to perform, but downtown’s stunning Orpheum Theatre has been home base since 1977. Sitting in the grand old theatre, with its soaring ceiling and exquisite chandelier, while listening to the VSO is an experience never to be forgotten.—Sheri Radford
