The International Master Teacher program celebrates the unique connection between the VSO School of Music and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, as young students enjoy the opportunity to take lessons & masterclasses with some of the world’s greatest performing artists. At each event, up to four of the VSOSoM’s advanced students will receive one on one coaching with a leading professional in their field, leading up to an in-person masterclass which will be available to watch live in Pyatt Hall, or virtually through YouTube livestream.
Tickets are $15 for the general public, and FREE for currently enrolled VSOSoM students. If you are eligible for free tickets, you will receive an email with a code to reserve your place.
