to the last time we had Ballet BC at The Soraya for our 22-23 Season! 😌

Don’t miss them as they return this weekend with two of The Soraya’s most popular choreographers, Medhi Walerski and Crystal Pite. ✨

The evening will include “Chamber” and “Silent Tides” by Ballet BC’s Artistic Director Medhi Walerski, and Crystal Pite’s “Frontier,” which originally premiered at Netherlands Dance Theater and was danced by Walerski who describes the work as, “epic…an experimentation of the relationship between light and shadows”.

Medhi Walerski is one of the great figures in the dance world – dancer, choreographer, and now Artistic Director of Ballet BC, The Soraya’s resident dance company from Vancouver, British Columbia. He is known worldwide for his outsized contribution to contemporary ballet, in a professional life that is still in the earliest stages of its unfolding. We are fortunate to have such a vital and robust partnership with Walerski and his troupe.

In this video interview, he talks about the upcoming Ballet BC performance at The Soraya. You will marvel at how thoughtful and expressive he is, both with his words and his extraordinary dancerly hands.

See you all here this Saturday, November 23rd at 8PM for the Ballet BC performance featuring New Works by Medhi Walerski
and Crystal Pite.

This weekend, Rhapsody in Blue returns to The Soraya just as Gershwin first imagined it in 1924—with all the energy of his original jazz band version.

Led by conductor Christopher Rountree (), who, as LA Times notes, ‘could probably get an audience to dance to the slowest movement Shostakovich ever wrote.’ ✨

🎹 At the piano, Conrad Tao () brings Gershwin’s notes to shimmering life, while the Grammy-nominated Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra () captures the era’s swing and sparkle to close out the night. 🎺

It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday celebrations —step back in time with us and get your tickets now at the 🔗 in BIO! We’ll see you here 😉

This past weekend, The Soraya transformed into a world of pure wonder! 🌟 Mummenschanz brought their 50th-anniversary celebration to our stage with a parade of whimsical characters—from the iconic Clay Masks 🏺 to the quirky Toilet Paper Faces 🎭. Without uttering a word, they swept us away into a world of imagination, laughter, and joy! 🎉

We had a marvelous time hearing all the amazing stories from fans who grew up watching Mummenschanz, sharing memories from their childhood over the past 50 years. We’re glad we could be part of yet another nostalgic moment! ❤️

✨ Last Wednesday, Tessa Lark ( ), Joshua Roman (), and Edgar Meyer () brought their masterful artistry to our Onstage Classical series. Audiences joined the trio onstage for an intimate performance of timeless classics and modern works, including Bach’s Sonata for Viola da Gamba in G Major and original compositions by Edgar Meyer himself, from the dynamic “Trio 1986” to the newly minted “New Trio 2024.”

Afterward, members enjoyed a private reception where they mingled with the artists—a special chance to connect and celebrate the evening together. 🎻

🎶 Join us on November 3rd for another remarkable night with legendary pianist Emanuel Ax. 🎹

This unforgettable season of intimate performances continues with two more Onstage Classical evenings featuring Philharmonia Baroque and MILÔS!
