Artists of Land and Sea.

In the second half, the Vetta Chamber Players Mentorship Orchestra performs a remount of Vetta Chamber Music’s 30th-anniversary cross-cultural commission “Seasons of the Sea”, with words by Coast Salish and Sahtu Dene artist Rosemary Georgeson and music by Jeffrey Ryan.
Performances take place November 15 at 2 pm at West Point Grey United Church, November 16 at 7:30 pm at West Vancouver United Church, November 17 at 2 pm at Pyatt Hall, and November 18 at 2:30 pm at ArtSpring on Salt Spring Island.
