Sun Peaks Resort Summer Event News

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

Directly from the Sun Peaks Resort Press Release:

Canada’s Alpine Village gets ready for its biggest line-up…ever!

Sun Peaks, BC (May 15, 2012) - Sun Peaks is excited to announce additions to its already massive event schedule this summer. This coming summer will feature over 35 events, including 15 newly created or partnered events, representing a 100% increase over last year. Branded as Canada’s Alpine Village, the mountain community will host an event every weekend from June 30to September 29, drawing visitors from all over the region.

In addition to previously announced events, such as the upcoming Free Outdoor Concert featuring Kevin Costner and Modern West, Sun Peaks is adding to its summer line up “Seak the Peak” Geo Caching Weekend (July 21 & 22), the brand new 5’Forty Longboard Challenge (August 19) and the Yeah Bru! Classic Dual Slalom Downhill Mountain Bike Race (September 2).

The community will continue to celebrate its 50 year anniversary throughout the summer with events happening every month, starting with the Mr. Fairway Contest (June 2) and culminating at the 50th Reunion Finale Barbeque (September 8th).

The increased events schedule allowed Tourism Sun Peaks and resort businesses to partner with talented local organizers to identify opportunities.  Partnerships were forged to stage the Yeah Bro! BC Cup Series #3 Downhill Mountain Bike Race (July 14 & 15), Dirty Feet’s XC Mountain Bike Event (July 21 & 22) and Trail Run (September 8th).  Cooperation also expanded RunClub’s Jo’s Road Race (June 30 & July 1) into a destination weekend.

The dramatic increase in events has been driven by two factors according to Christopher Nicolson, President of Tourism Sun Peaks. The first was a need to attract more ‘first-time’ locals and regional residents during the summer.

“Events offer a specific reason to come to Sun Peaks,” says Nicolson. “Most people who visit in summer have an exceptional experience and return. The scented air, vibrant colours, and invigorating village and activity draw people back. But we needed to find a way to entice guests for their initial visit.”

The second reason is directly related to the creation of the new Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality.  As a formal municipality, the community was able to work with the provincial government and secure new investment for tourism and infrastructure.

Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Concert News

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Directly from the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Press Release:

Superstar Yevgeny Sudbin performs Mozart with the VSO, with Conductor Laureate Kazuyoshi Akiyama celebrating his 40th anniversary of conducting the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

Vancouver, BC – The weekend of May 26th to the 28th sees the VSO debut of piano superstar Yevgeny Sudbin, performing one of Mozart’s most important – and most brilliant – works for piano, his Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor. Also featured on the program are Debussy’s beautiful L’isle joyeuse and La Mer, and Mozart’s Magic Flute Overture.

These performances are conducted by VSO Conductor Laureate Kazuyoshi Akiyama. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the VSO’s association with Maestro Akiyama, who served as Music Director from 1972 to 1984. In Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, as well as on tours throughout British Columbia, across Canada, to the US West Coast and Japan, Maestro Akiyama has conducted over six- hundred concerts with the VSO and can be heard on five critically acclaimed recordings. The VSO is immensely proud of its association with Maestro Akiyama, a world-renowned conductor and recipient of the Emperor’s Purple Ribbon Medal from the Japanese Government for his outstanding contribution to the country’s musical culture. We celebrate our 40th anniversary of beautiful music-making on this performance weekend.

Pianist Yevgeny Sudbin has been hailed as potentially one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century, and the International Record Review called him “one of the most important pianistic talents of our time.” Sudbin regularly performs with many of the world’s most distinguished orchestras, and his recordings have always met with critical acclaim.

The matinee performance on Sunday, May 27th is dedicated to the many hundreds of VSO Volunteers who give generously and tirelessly of their time to assist the VSO in many aspects of operations. Volunteers staff the VSO Gift Shop; work at every concert assisting patrons, handing out information and selling lottery tickets; spend thousands of hours in the VSO offices assisting with administrative tasks, important mailouts, data entry, etc.; staff the reception desk; sell lottery tickets at malls and other locations throughout the Lower Mainland; staff the Tea & Trumpets matinee series; help raise important funds through projects such as the Volunteer Music Appreciation Program, the Symphony of Style Fashion Show, the Holland America Luncheon, and more. The VSO salutes these amazing volunteers!

Vancouver Symphony Orchestra: May Concerts

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Directly from the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Press Release:

May Concerts with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra

Vancouver, BC – The month of May sees the VSO performing fourteen concerts in three different venues, ranging from Pops to classics to new music to concerts for children and families. Performances occur at the Orpheum, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Orpheum Annex.

A return engagement with the world’s top-selling jazz instrumentalist, trumpeter Chris Botti, starts off the month, on May 2nd at the Orpheum. The first time Botti performed with the orchestra was the Spring of 2010, to a sold-out house and rave reviews. Now, Botti returns with a brand-new album titled Impressions to his credit. Playing with his uniquely expressive sound and soaring musical imagination, Botti is joined on this album by featured artists Andrea Bocelli, Vince Gill, Herbie Hancock, Mark Knopfler, David Foster and Caroline Campbell in a celebration of romantic melodies from across the world. Chris Botti brings his unique, smooth jazz sound to the VSO, with a collection of outstanding arrangements for jazz trumpet and full orchestra.

May continues with an extraordinary classical concert featuring outstanding cellist Jan Vogler peforming the greatest of the cello concertos, the Dvorak Cello Concerto. Also on the program is the Brahms Symphony No. 2, all under the baton of conductor Christoph Konig making his VSO debut.

A Pacific Arbour Tea & Trumpets matinee concert is up next, featuring the music of Bach and Handel, and the talents of VSO flute players Christie Reside and Rosanne Wieringa; and of course, Bard on the Beach’s own Christopher Gaze hosting and narrating. Tea and cookies are served in the Orpheum lobby prior to the concert.

The 2011/12 London Drugs VSO Pops series concludes with two performances by trumpet great Allen Vizzutti. Internationally acclaimed as one of a handful of the greatest trumpet players in the world, Vizzutti and the orchestra perform an eclectic set of jazz, blues and light classics, with a dash of Astor Piazzolla for good measure. VSO Principal Pops Conductor Jezz Tyzik conducts. This same weekend, the VSO performs a Spectra Energy Kids‘ Koncerts program featuring renowned children’s entertainers Platypus Theatre and one of their best-loved shows, Emily Saves the Orchestra.

The following weekend, the VSO returns to the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and the Orpheum Annex. At the Chan Centre, pianist Jeffrey Kahane plays and conducts a program of Bach, Mozart and Respighi. At the Orpheum Annex, the orchestra and Assistant Conductor Pierre Simard explore new music, with compositions by Ana Sokolovic, Denys Bouliane, and Tristan Murail.

The busy month of May kicks into an even higher gear when superstar pianist Yevgeny Sudbin joins the orchestra for three performances of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24. This extraordinary concert also features Debussy’s La Mer and L’isle joyeuse. The VSO also celebrates the 40th anniversary of our association with Conductor Laureate Kazuyoshi Akiyama. Maestro Akiyama conducts this concert, and in his 40-year association with the VSO (twelve years as Music Director, from 1972 to 1984) he has conducted over six hundred performances, and can be heard on five acclaimed recordings.

The month comes to a close with Last Night of the Proms, under the baton of Maestro Tovey, and featuring the Vancouver Bach Choir and mezzo soprano Sarah Fryer.

Directly from the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Newsletter:

Gilbert & Sullivan: Trial by Jury!

Bramwell Tovey, the UBC Opera Ensemble, and G&S specialist, baritone Richard Suart present Gilbert & Sullivan’s first major success: Trial by Jury. The hilarious Trial by Jury is a one-act comic opera that premiered in London in 1875, playing for 131 performances and made Gilbert & Sullivan famous. It takes a satirical view of the British legal system of the time, and includes parodies of French and Italian opera composers sprinkled throughout the work. Not only will you hear this great work in the hands of a master Gilbert & Sullivan conductor like Bramwell Tovey, this all-British performance also includes Walton’s Crown Imperial (Coronation) March, and John Ireland’s beautiful Piano Concerto, performed by Pet er Longworth, one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation.
