VICTORIA SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL

We’ve heard from several people who are keen to secure their seats, and our box office is now ready for you—with an extra “Early Bird” discount available to reward you for making your summer plans in good time.

There are still some final touches to add to the rest of our website, but we didn’t want to keep you waiting.

Our artistic director, Arthur Rowe, has confirmed the performer roster, and all the repertoire for the 2018 season has been finalized.

We are thrilled to open our series with the James Ehnes Quartet. Due to the tremendous demand for seats when we presented James in recital, we are again booking the Dave Dunnet Community Theatre, in Oak Bay High School, for this concert.

Our usual venue, the Phillip T. Young Recital Hall at the University of Victoria, will be the site for the remainder of our concerts. There, we welcome back festival favourites Joan Blackman, Yariv Aloni, Eugene Osadchy, Arthur Rowe, and Minsoo Sohn.  We’re also thrilled to introduce rising stars violinist Andréa Tyniec and the Tesla Quartet, second-prize winners in the most recent Banff International String Quartet Competition.

All of our concerts take place at 7:30 p.m. and are preceded at 6:40 p.m. by an informal talk by our performers.
