What You'll Hear

We are deeply saddened by the passing of clarinetist Ken Peplowski, a treasured part of the VSO USA Jazz performance tradition for many years. His artistry and spirit will be profoundly missed.

The Annual Jazz Concert will continue as planned, and an updated artist roster will be shared soon. We look forward to sharing this special evening with you in Ken's honor.

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s annual Evening of Jazz will feature an all-star lineup of musicians, including guitarist David Captein, drummer Jason Palmer and world-renowned guitarist Frank Vignola!
