Welcome to spring 2012 as we look forward to the coming 65th annual season of fabulous chamber music concerts in Vancouver BC! You can see portraits on this page of the chamber music groups performing during our 2012-2013 series. And thank you for an ecstatic conclusion to our 64th annual season!
On Sunday, April 22, 2012 at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre we bathed in the splendour of Mozart's String Quartet K575 and Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 5 both played by the 9-time Grammy Award winning Emerson String Quartet. After the intermission, indefatigable pianist Menahem Pressler joined the quartet to play Brahms' Piano Quintet Opus 34. The season ended with an enthusiastic standing ovation - and an encore of the scherzo from the Dvorak Piano Quintet!
In October 2012 we plunge into the new season of 10 concerts - but you can buy your tickets now! Check out the "Concerts" page to see which group plays when, with links to individual concert pages that list the music being played, info about the ensemble, plus links to the group's own website and a clip (audio or video) of music. Whet your appetite for the live concert experiences!
You can buy tickets to our concerts online, by mail, and by phone any time, or in-person at the theatre box office in the hour before each concert. Subscriptions, clusters of tickets or single tickets for the 2012-2013 season are available now. Subscriptions are less expensive per concert than single tickets, but at $40 each, even single tickets are still a great deal. And keep in mind, full-time students pay a special price: only $15 per ticket for each concert - that is 62.5% off the regular price to see and hear wonderful music-making in person! Use our online form linked to the "Tickets" page to stock up on tickets. Choose concerts by great groups playing music from classical, romantic and modern times.
Be curious - it's a feast of great live music that awaits you.

No other form of music has such power to engage our attention –
no other can delight our senses with such exquisite beauty of sound.
