VANCOUVER SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA capped off its season on a high note with a handful of live concerts to limited if elated audiences.
To close out 2020-21, it recently hosted singer-composer Steven Page, composer-cellist Kevin Fox, and guitarist-vocalist Craig Northey in front of a small, appreciative crowd. The performance gets released on July 6 at 7:30 pm PDT via the TheConcertHall.ca presented by TELUS.
The set list includes classic Canadian songs, including some originals by Page and the Barenaked Ladies, as well as covers of tracks by Leonard Cohen, the Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie, and John K. Samson of the Weakerthans.
VSO associate conductor Andrew Crust leads the orchestra.
