Pre-Concert Lectures

Most of our concerts (with the exception of our Chan events) are preceded by a pre-concert interview at 7:15 pm (for our matinée performances at 2:15 pm). These events are hosted by Matthew White, Early Music Vancouver’s Artistic Director – and generally feature the performers, but occasionally also teachers or other members of the Vancouver early music community.

Admission is free to ticket-holders for the event.
