Enriching the Community Through Music Appreciation
Each season, the VWMS proudly presents Vancouver's finest young musicians in our ten Main Series concerts. All concerts are open to the public, as well as to our membership. Informal receptions following each concert provide an opportunity to meet the artists, as well as a chance to network with fellow music lovers.
The VWMS provides a delightful classical music experience at an exceptional value! However, members and single ticket purchasers do more than support a performance each month. Proceeds from the concerts, as well as individual donations, go towards the Society's
Scholarship and Bursary Funds, awarded annually.
