Take a look at these photos capturing a VYSO concert circa 1985-1986, featuring none other than our featured guest soloist at the upcoming 95th anniversary concert, Joanna G’froerer! This concert took place at The Orpheum, one of the most iconic concert halls in our city, and where we look forward to bringing Joanna and all 280 of our musicians together for the season finale of our 95th anniversary. Despite growing up in a family of musicians and starting music at the age of 5, Joanna didn’t realize until she was a teenager that she wanted to spend her life playing in an orchestra, and hasn’t looked back since. When the opportunity came up to audition for the National Arts Centre Orchestra (@nac.cna), her years of hard work and dedication paid off as at the age of 20, she became one of the youngest musicians to ever be hired by the Orchestra. Joanna’s inspiring journey, as well as those of the hundreds and thousands of alumni who have gone through our program are part of why we are proud to be carrying on the mission of supporting and developing young musicians to meet their potential as artists and as people. Join us on May 18 to celebrate different generations of VYSO talent. Buy tickets now at the link in our bio.

“I have many wonderful memories of my years in the VYSO, including tours to the Okanagan and Vancouver Island, end-of-year concerts at the Orpheum, and joint concerts with the UBC Orchestra with guest conductors like Kazuyoshi Akiyama and Oscar Shumsky.” Joanna G’froerer, Principal Flutist of the National Arts Centre Orchestra (@nac.cna) and featured guest soloist for our 95th anniversary concert reflects as she looks back on her time spent with VYSO in the 1980s. Joanna’s family’s involvement with VYSO dates back to the 1960s, when her father Brian G’froerer was a young French Horn player, before later pursuing careers with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and CBC Radio Orchestra. But the second-generation VYSO alumni’s musical roots don’t just stop there—Joanna’s mother was also an active member of the Vancouver Chamber Choir and Vancouver Opera Chorus, and so unsurprisingly, music was always an indispensable part of Joanna’s life growing up. Having come a long way since joining VYSO at age 13, we are extremely excited to be welcoming Joanna back to Vancouver on May 18. She tells us that “To be performing in Vancouver again, in the Orpheum, with this organization that means so much to me is very special. I feel honoured and welcomed home.The Orpheum itself holds so many memories for me [...]” Read more including Joanna’s concert day routine and must-haves, and words of wisdom for young musicians through the link in our bio. 🎫 See Joanna perform alongside the next generation of musical talent at the 95th anniversary concert by getting your tickets today.
