Welcome from the Artistic Director
Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 2024/2025 concert season! As the newly appointed Artistic and Executive Director of the Muzewest Concerts Society, I invite you to join us for four unique concerts this season, showcasing a diverse range of musical styles from Renaissance masters to contemporary visionaries.
This season, we open with an innovative program by Vancouver's own pianist Wayne Weng, who delves into the music of Franz Schubert and explores its profound influence on contemporary composers. We also present the vibrant sounds of Raagaverse, an innovative Indo-Jazz fusion project led by the acclaimed vocalist Shruti Ramani. Raagaverse performs selections from their debut album, Jaya, promising an unforgettable evening.
Furthermore, the esteemed Vancouver Chamber Choir Camarata takes us on a journey through the evolution of choral music, presenting works by renowned Renaissance and Baroque composers. Finally, to culminate the season, I join some of British Columbia's finest musicians for "Avan Yu and Friends," where we celebrate the works of Robert Schumann and Maurice Ravel, marking the 150th anniversary of Ravel's birth.
We can't wait to share the magic of music with you this season. Hope to see you at our concerts!
Sincerely,
Avan Yu
Artistic and Executive Director
