Music in the Mountains



Who doesn’t love the lazy, hazy days of summer especially surrounded by unforgettable mountain views and endless skies? And if that isn’t enough we are treated to not one, but two free concerts by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. They’re playing outdoors at the Olympic Plaza in Whistler, a five minute walk from our doorstep.


Picnic before the show—a must-do.



Under the baton of Sean Newhouse, featured violinist Mayuko Kamio stuns the crowd with her brilliant performance of Sarasate compositions.




Night Two. Same time, same place, different outfit.


Tim, proud to be a Canadian resident, croons the National Anthem.


Tonight Mayuko plays Mendelssohn on her 1727 Stradivarius.


A paraglider drawn by the exquisite music swings low over the crowd.




A perfect moon for a perfect evening.
