Celebrate a season of new beginnings with the VSO School of Music’s six string ensembles, in the magnificent Vancouver Playhouse. Sinfonietta will dazzle with Bach’s thundering Brandenburg Concerto No.3, and Harold Birston’s arrangement of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody, while also handling the powerful emotions of John William’s Schindler’s List, featuring soloist Kai Chow.
