- Vancouver Recital Society
The Vancouver Recital Society is one of Vancouver’s major presenters of classical and chamber music, offering a platform for fans to see both new and established, high profile talent perform in the best venues in Vancouver. The Vancouver Recital Society makes use of the many good classical music venues in Vancouver, most notably including Vancouver Playhouse, the splendid Orpheum Theatre, and the Chan Centre, noted for its exceptional acoustics.
Long before they became household names, the Vancouver Recital Society has presented in their Canadian and/or Vancouver recital debuts such luminaries as Cecilia Bartoli, Maxim Vengerov, Anne Sofie von Otter, Yo-Yo Ma, András Schiff, Joshua Bell, Steven Isserlis, Bryn Terfel, and championed such Canadian musicians as Angela Cheng, Scott St. John, James Ehnes, Richard Raymond and Jon Kimura Parker.
Each summer since 1986, the VRS has also presented the two-week Vancouver Chamber Music Festival which brings together upwards of 20 of the finest young established chamber musicians from Canada and abroad. The festival is broadcast nationally by CBC Radio.
