EMV’s 2025 Summer Festival: In Endless Ascent
Welcome to our 55th Anniversary Summer Festival!
EMV’s Summer Festival, Bach & Mozart: In Endless Ascent, celebrates nature’s elements and journeys ever upward. From the earthly forces of Rebel’s Les Élémens and Geminiani’s The Enchanted Forest, to Bach’s celestial works, the poetic beauty of Schubert lieder, and the soul’s final ascent in Mozart’s Requiem, the festival’s sense of infinity is perfectly aligned with our triumphant anniversary year and our ongoing exploration of both old and new works.
These also include meditative sounds of the 11th-century and a cross-cultural encounter between Chinese instruments and baroque strings with Vancouver’s Sound the Dragon. We’re proud to present an exceptional number of new works featuring Canadian composers Edward Top, Dorothy Chang, Lan Tung, Grégoire Jeay, Sandeep Bhagwati and Métis artist Gregory Borton. These bold new works reflect EMV’s commitment to expanding early music into today’s world.
We look forward to seeing you in the audience!
