Our friends at Early Music Seattle are partnering with Early Music Vancouver to present two performances of Monteverdi’s Christmas Vespers on December 21 and 22. The concerts will include violins, cornetti, sackbuts, theorbos, and voices under the direction of David Fallis.

The historic moulding in the Great Hall is in terrific shape for its age. A few pieces require some restoration, and those that we’re unable to repair will be fully replicated.
All four sides of Town Hall feature this unique terra cotta facade, and they’ll each be getting a thorough cleaning and restoration over the course of the renovation.
We’re transforming our former admin offices into a brand new intimate performance and reception space.
