Under the Palm Trees:
Travel back in time where one could enjoy a slower pace of life, taking in light orchestras at spas and seaside towns. With music from Eric Coates, Canada’s Robert Farnon, and Ernest Tomlinson, this tradition lives on with unforgettable memories and stories. Join the VSO staff and audience members in the lobby for complimentary tea and biscuits before the concert.
Christopher Gaze: Host. David Bui: Assistant Conductor.
