What a thrill and honour to lead the Vancouver Island Symphony, on the occasion of its 25th Anniversary Season. More than ever, we remain true to our belief that music - of all kinds and all eras - belongs to everyone. For us, Classical & Casual is more than a simple brand or catch phrase. It’s a way of performing, bringing live music to the Comox Valley with plenty of enthusiasm, passion, commitment and talent! Attending a VIS concert is also one of the best possible ways to relieve daily life stresses.

Live music has a transforming, transporting, transcending power - an experience which brings comfort, happiness, social interaction, a sense of belonging… an escape unlike any other form of entertainment.

Symphony at the Sid is back for a third season and we are delighted to be presenting three one-hour concerts at the Sid Williams Theatre. Come celebrate 25 years with us!
