Symphony at Sunset

Enter to win ticket for you and a friend to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ Part 2 in Concert.

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Vancouver Park Board are pleased to present the annual Symphony at Sunset, a free, open-air concert taking place on the large lawn at Sunset Beach. Conducted by VSO Music Director Otto Tausk, Symphony at Sunset includes something for everyone.

Music this year will tie into the theme of celebration and  dance, especially tango!  The incredible Dutch bandoneon artist, Carel Kraayenhof, who has performed with international artists including Sting, Ennio Morricone, and Yo-Yo Ma, joins the VSO as the featured soloist.

Event grounds will be open all day for picnic-goers to set up early, as space will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. A friendly reminder to bring low chairs so as not to obstruct the view of other audience members. The Sunset Beach concession stand will be open for delicious food and drinks throughout the day and into the evening, as well as several food trucks parked throughout the grounds.

A prelude performance by faculty and students from the VSO School of Music and a variety of soloists. Plus! There will be a Musical Play Zone for our youngest audience members to experience music-making throughout the evening.
