Abstract
August 2000 saw the debut of the ambitious new Festival Vancouver. Ninety concerts and three operas (five of these world premieres) filled seventeen days, each day packed with a weekday noon-hour concert in the Alcon Beethoven Plus Series, a 5:00 p.m. choral series called Choral Connections, a major evening performance in the F.R. Graham Main Stage Series or an opera and a more intimate show in the 11:00 p.m. Late-Night Series. Weekends added a group of concerts at UBC’s First Nations Longhouse; Hallelujah Handel!, a musical theatre production for children; and a four-concert collection at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. As well, in a special day-long project, the Complete Cycle of String Quartets by R. Murray Schafer were performed by the Molinari, the Penderecki and the St. Lawrence quartets at the Chan Centre.
