Celebrated as one of the greatest composers in the history of film, Henry Mancini created countless film scores and some of the most memorable music of our time. Join conductor Sean O’Loughlin and the VSO in a celebration of this amazing artist, featuring such classics as “Moon River,” Charade and Peter Gunn.

Mostly Mancini

Orpheum

Sean O’Loughlin and the VSO bring the iconic music of the James Bond movies to the Orpheum with such favourites as Thunderball, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger. Featured on America’s Got Talent and a regular guest vocalist with Pink Martini, the sensational Jimmie Herrod makes his Vancouver debut. Rounding out the program are hits from Austin Powers, Mission Impossible and Henry Mancini’s irresistible music from the Pink Panther series.

The Music of James Bond

Sullivan Heights Secondary School

Journey with Toronto Symphony Orchestra Conductor Emeritus Peter Oundjian through the vivid imagery of Mussorgsky’s glorious Pictures at an Exhibition. “Set to dominate the piano world for a long time to come” (The Times of London), Simon Trpčeski tackles Rachmaninoff’s impressive First Piano Concerto, bursting with virtuosic passages. Joan Tower’s Concerto for Orchestra opens the evening showcasing the exceptional musicians of the VSO.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Celebrated French pianist Hélène Grimaud returns to the VSO to treat us to George Gershwin’s Concerto in F Major, brimming with enthusiasm and rhythm. English conductor Alexander Shelley summons the orchestra’s many musical colours in Ravel’s sensual ballet, Daphnis et Chloé. Peruvian composer Jimmy López’s Aino, hailed by The Chicago Tribune as “one of the most effective CSO commissions in recent seasons” receives its hotly anticipated Vancouver premiere.

Grimaud Plays Gershwin

Gustav Mahler famously told fellow composer Jean Sibelius that “The symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.” Maestro Tausk brings the VSO’s classical season to an epic close with one of the most ambitious symphonies ever composed, Mahler’s extraordinary Third Symphony. Mezzo-soprano Rihab Chaieb returns to the VSO in Mahler’s most extroverted and impressive work of genius that culminates in one of the most staggering conclusions of the orchestral canon.

Mahler’s Third Symphony
