Vancouver Bach Choir presents Behind the Keys - annual fundraising gala concert

Maestro Leslie Dala performs at the piano, alongside soprano and pianist Rachel Fenlon.

Fenlon and Dala combine their considerable talents in a program that spans from fresh takes on beautiful classics to jewels of contemporary art music, including Gyorgy Kurtag’s expressive Bach piano transcriptions; Debussy’s colourful and nuanced Ariettes oubliées; Toru Takemitsu’s dreamy, meditative Rain Tree Sketch I; and Ahania’s Lament by Juno-winning Canadian composer Samy Moussa. The program finds its dramatic and rapturous conclusion in Olivier Messiaen’s Poemes pour mi.

Audience members will enjoy cabaret-style seating, relaxing at a table with friends, or with a bird’s eye view in more distanced seating in the Annex’s balcony. Drinks will be available, including a complimentary beverage with each ticket.
