As the calendar stretches towards its longest night, Music on Main returns to fill Heritage Hall with the sounds of one of Vancouver’s favourite winter traditions. Taking place from December 9 to 11, Music for the Winter Solstice promises luminous music and extraordinary performers.
Ukulele player James Hill and cellist Anne Janelle—both Canadian Folk Music Award winners—join world-renowned pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa, who is a long-time Winter Solstice collaborator, for a night of great tunes, new sounds, and deep connection.
Performing together as Champagne Weather, Hill and Janelle artfully connect folk and roots to modern minimalism. Every song is a shimmering blanket of sound with flashes of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Appalachian fiddle, and Maritime folk. Iwaasa brings her extraordinary artistry to the concert, playing intimate, powerful, and unexpected music.
Music for the Winter Solstice starts at 7:30 pm each night. Learn more through Music on Main and purchase tickets here.
