Vetta Chamber Music continues its latest season of offerings from November 15 to 18 with Concert Two: Land and Sea, which connects a mentorship initiative with cross-cultural collaboration.

The first half of the program features music related to the land and its stories, including works by Sibelius and Bloch, and Yellowknife-based contemporary composer Carmen Braden’s “The Raven Conspiracy”.

In the second half, the Vetta Chamber Players Mentorship Orchestra performs a remount of Vetta Chamber Music’s 30th-anniversary cross-cultural commission “Seasons of the Sea”, with words by Coast Salish and Sahtu Dene artist Rosemary Georgeson and music by Jeffrey Ryan.

Performances take place November 15 at 2 pm at West Point Grey United Church, November 16 at 7:30 pm at West Vancouver United Church, November 17 at 2 pm at Pyatt Hall, and November 18 at 2:30 pm at ArtSpring on Salt Spring Island.
