Vancouver Cantata Singers will present Reflection, the final concert of its 2024-25 season, at Pacific Spirit United Church on May 3 at 7:30 pm.

Taking time to reflect is an important part of life’s journey. Whether it be the wisdom gained through growth or the consolation received during a difficult moment, the outcomes people experience in times of love, loss, and light are all worthy of contemplation.

Join the Vancouver Cantata Singers for this last performance of the season, which has followed the theme JOURNEY, as the choir honours a few special moments and people in its own history. The program for the evening will allow the audience to reflect on the influence of several impactful works, including Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Unser Leben ist ein Schatten” and Clytus Gottwald’s setting of Gustav Mahler’s “Im Abendrot”, and more.

Tickets to Reflection and more details are available through the Vancouver Cantata Singers.
