This Throwback Thursday, we’re revisiting photos

This Throwback Thursday, we’re revisiting photos from when our Senior Orchestra musicians took part in a side-by-side concert with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (@vsorchestra) in February 2014 under the baton of the late Bramwell Tovey. His composition “Sky Chase,” written especially for the VYSO, will be featured at our 95th Anniversary Concert on May 18. We’re incredibly excited to be returning to The Orpheum for this occasion with all four divisions of our orchestra for the concert and hope we can see you all there! 🎫 Get tickets now at the link in our bio. #VYSO #VYSO95 #orchestra #youthsymphony #music #musiceducation #symphony #symphonyorchestra

Listen to our Debut Orchestra Conductor Nadia Petr

Listen to our Debut Orchestra Conductor Nadia Petriw talk about how our youngest musicians will be bringing on their best performances yet at the upcoming 95th Anniversary Concert next month! 👀✨ Noteworthy is a combined piece from our Debut and Junior Orchestras, who will be performing ‘Coast Salish Anthem’ arranged by William Rowson, which pays tribute to Indigenous musical traditions, and the much-loved theme song from the film ‘How to Train Your Dragon.’ 🐲 #VYSO #VYSO95 #orchestra #youthsymphony #music #musiceducation #symphony #symphonyorchestra

Earlier this week, a number of our Senior orchestra musicians had the honour of joining Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell (@joshuabellmusic) on stage during his appearance at the @TED 2025 Humanity Reimagined conference. Together, they performed Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings for the audiences in attendance, as well as the hundreds and thousands of others that were watching online. We are deeply grateful for this opportunity, and thank Joshua, Park Avenue Artists (@parkavenueartists) and the TED team for this incredible experience. As Joshua mentioned during his presentation, music helps to unite us and remind us of our shared humanity, and we are proud to be able to share the beauty of music with future generations at VYSO. #VYSO #VYSO95 #orchestra #youthsymphony #music #musiceducation #symphony #symphonyorchestra #TED2025 #TED #HumanityReimagined
