The PGSO’s mainstage concert series at Vanier Hall will feature Northern BC resident and Grammy winning singer-songwriter Alex Cuba.
Cuba is known world-wide for his unique sugarcane-sweet melodies, pop-soul hooks, and powerful guitar riffs. He's scheduled to play with PGSO on March 9, 2024.
The PGSO’s 2023-24 season will also include a thrilling lineup of local and national talent. The series opens with a family-friendly Halloween concert featuring Lemony Snickett’s hilarious The Composer is Dead – a musical murder mystery. It then continues with a unique fusion of Indian and orchestral classical music in a program contrasting Beethoven’s Symphony No.1 and Sri Lankan-Canadian composer Dinuk Wijeratne’s Tabla Concerto.
PGSO music director Michael Hall will present another multimedia Discovery concert in February, featuring Dvořák’s popular “New World” symphony. The symphony’s discovery concerts have become one of their most popular formats, providing a great experience for new concert-goers but also a deeper listening experience for the connoisseurs.
This concert will also feature members of the Prince George Symphony Youth Orchestra, the PGSO’s collaborative education project with the Prince George Conservatory of Music.
The symphony’s season will come to a close with the ethereal Fauré Requiem, featuring the Prince George Cantata Singers along with featured soloists Elaina Moreau and Andrew Greenwood.
Tadd Mao, winner of the symphony’s young artists competition, will perform the first movement of Rachmaninoff’s great second piano concerto, and the concert also presents the JUNO-winning My Name is Amanda Todd by Jocelyn Morlock.
More details on the 2023-24 season are available on the PGSO website.
“I am extremely proud of our next season,” said Michael Hall. “I think it’s a perfect mix of great classics, exciting new pieces, and truly wonderful performers from several styles of music. The musicians and I are really excited to collaborate with these amazing guests and really stretch ourselves artistically. And at the same time, we are presenting a lot of really fun things for the audience.”
