Both attest to the considerable talents of five remarkable musicians.

Please call 250-746-2722 to book subscriptions.  \nChristian Kluxen conductorTerence Tam violin *Unsuk Chin Subito con forzaBartók Violin Concerto No. 2 *Beethoven Symphony No. 3 “Eroica” \nThree heroic works are featured\, beginning with Subito conforza\, by South Korea’s Unsuk Chin. Her orchestral miniature\, is “haunted by Beethovenian gestures…amid Chin’s own exquisite orchestral palette – icy shivers of strings\, rasping woodwind and ghostly muted trumpets” (The Guardian). In producing his Violin Concerto No. 2\, Bartók followed in the footsteps of Beethoven and Brahms with a work that quickly became championed by Yehudi Menuhin – here played by theVS’s Concertmaster Terence Tam. Beethoven’s monumental Third Symphony was bigger and longer than anything that preceded it – and it remains a colossus of the musical literature.

SUMMARY:The Grapes of Wrath Acoustic Duo
DESCRIPTION:Senior $38 | Student/Child $20 \n\nAfter bonding over a mutual love of The Beatles\, drummer Chris Hooper introduced Kevin Kane to his younger brother Tom Hooper in 1977. While still attending elementary and junior high school in Kelowna BC\, the trio began learning to play their instruments together during regular Friday night jam sessions in the basement of the Hoopers’ suburban home. \nInfluenced in equal parts by the British Invasion of the 60s and the DIY attitudes and immediacy of punk and new wave\, the group took the name The Grapes Of Wrath in 1983\, and began working on the songs that would make up their debut EP (The Grapes of Wrath\, 1984) and first album (September Bowl Of Green\, 1985)\, both of which were released by Vancouver indie label Nettwerk Productions. The band were soon signed by Capitol/EMI for albums “Treehouse” (1987)\, “Now And Again” (1989)\, and “These Days” (1991). These records spawned some of the most well-known Canadian songs of the 80s and 90s\, including Peace Of Mind\, Backward Town\, All The Things I Wasn’t\, What Was Going Through My Head\, I Am Here and You May Be Right. Thanks in no small part to the support of MuchMusic\, the Grapes enjoyed gold and platinum sales\, with sold out shows at home in Canada\, extensive radio play\, and several US and European tours in support of albums that also saw release in Japan\, Australia\, and South America. Amid mounting tensions in the band\, the group disbanded in 1992 at the height of their career. \nTom and Kevin resurrected the Grapes in the late 90s\, subsequently releasing the album “Field Trip” (2000) on the Song Corp label\, and reuniting for another series of acoustic duo shows in the summer of 2009 to celebrate their enduring friendship and the music they had written. The following year\, an offer from a festival for a full band reunion led to the return of drummer Chris\, and the original three recorded “High Road” (2013) – their first album of new material in almost 22 years – named after the street the Hoopers had lived on when they first started playing together as kids. They have been playing regularly ever since and are arguably the longest-running\, still-active “original lineup” in rock. \nThis year\, Tom and Kevin are once again hitting the road as a duo to perform The Grapes’ music in an intimate and unplugged setting\, telling the stories behind the songs and putting the focus on the harmonies and melodies of their timeless music.

SUMMARY:Tom Lavin and the Legendary Powder Blues
DESCRIPTION:Mur-Man Productions presents \nGeneral tickets are on sale on Thursday\, June 27 at 10am PST.  \nFor over four decades Powder Blues has been Canada’s leading blues band. The mix of swing\, blues\, jazz\, rock & roll and r & b has an appeal so wide that people from seven to seventy swing side by side at a Powder Blues concert. Over the years the band has toured non-stop through Canada\, the United States and overseas\, spreading feel-good music that makes folks dance and shout. \nPowder Blues debut album\, ‘Uncut’\, was ignored by major labels who said there was ‘no market for the blues’. Undiscouraged\, the band sold it off stage and sent it to radio stations whose switchboards lit up with calls asking\, ‘who’s that?’ After selling 30\,000 copies in a few weeks\, the same record labels competed to distribute this ‘non-commercial’ product. To date Powder Blues have sold over a million records worldwide. \nBand highlights include winning Canada’s Juno\, headlining the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland\, winning the Blues Foundation Award in Memphis\, Tennessee and touring the US and Europe with legends like Willie Dixon\, John Lee Hooker\, B.B. King\, James Brown\, Albert Collins\, James Cotton and Stevie Ray Vaughn. \n\nLeader\, Tom Lavin has written many of the band’s best-known songs including ‘Doin’ It Right’ (‘On the Wrong Side of Town’) and ‘Boppin With the Blues’. Born in Chicago where he worked with local bands and blues legends\, Tom moved to Vancouver gigging in the downtown nightclub scene. This led to work as studio musician\, song writer\, band leader\, record producer and film composer. \nTom has won BCMIA awards for ‘Guitarist\, Singer\, Songwriter and Producer of the Year’\, a Juno award for ‘Best New Band’ and the American W.C. Handy award. He has over a dozen gold\, and platinum records for Powder Blues\, Prism\, April Wine\, Long John Baldry\, Amos Garrett\, and many others. 2025 is the band’s 47th anniversary. Their more than a dozen CD titles and DVD continue to sell world-wide making Tom Lavin & the Legendary Powder Blues one of Canada’s longest-standing musical ambassadors.

His admiration for antiquities parallels his love of music\, “I like antiques and old things\, old places\, that still have the dust of those who’ve gone before us lying upon them.” Blowing that dust off just enough to see its beauty is something Guy has excelled at for over twenty-five years of songwriting and performing. like savoring the ghosts of old sounds while still enjoying modern music. He is a songwriter greatly influenced by his love of theater and storytelling\, who derives joy from touring and seeing people from all walks of life.  His hope is to bring people together\, with the commonality that we are all people regardless of class\, race\, or personal experience\, a lesson he learned from his long time friendship with Pete Seeger.
