Note: This Surrey Nights concert is on Sunday.

The May 12 concert dedicated in memory of Ronald L. Cliff, CM, OBC.
Ron was a dedicated audience member, a generous contributor, and served this orchestra for 67 years. He led as a VSO Board member, Treasurer and Chair. He was a founding trustee and Chair of the Vancouver Symphony Foundation, building a transformational endowment fund. Ron’s leadership, passion, and commitment earned him the title of Honorary Life President at the VSO. He was deeply respected and beloved by the VSO community; we will miss him dearly.
