The Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra’s annual Global Soundscapes Festival is a rich feast of sound and rhythm, celebrating the intersection of Canadian cultures with musical traditions from all over the world. The 2020 edition has been re-imagined as a series of brand new virtuoso filmed performances by VICO musicians as well as some of Vancouver’s finest intercultural chamber ensembles (Orchid Ensemble, Silk Road Music, Vashaan Ensemble, and others), to be released online throughout the month of November 2020.
The VICO extends heartfelt thanks to the following funders, whose support and flexibility has made this project possible in very challenging times:
Department of Canadian Heritage
Canada Council for the Arts
Creative BC (Showcase BC)
The City of Vancouver
The VICO acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Nations, including the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-waututh Nations.
