Event Description
The Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra celebrates 95 years of musical excellence with a special anniversary concert on May 18, 2025, at the Orpheum. The milestone event showcases the talent and dedication of 280 young musicians across all four VYSO orchestras, from the foundational Debut and Junior Orchestras to the more advanced Intermediate and Senior ensembles. The concert offers an engaging program that highlights the artistic journey of these aspiring professionals and underscores the VYSO’s commitment to championing Canadian composers. Highlights from the repertoire include Carnival Overture by Oskar Morawetz — one of the most widely performed contemporary Canadian composers — and the revered Bramwell Tovey’s dynamic Sky Chase, which was originally written for the VYSO and was last performed by the orchestra in 2017. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere is the homecoming of special guest soloist Joanna G’froerer, the Principal Flutist of the prestigious National Arts Centre Orchestra and a VYSO alumna.Venue
