Santur player, composer, and cultural inventor Amir Amiri dwells at the centre of a unique musical universe where ancient inspiration, dazzling virtuosity, and bold creativity meet. Surrounding himself with outstanding collaborators from the worlds of jazz, classical and world music, Amiri fearlessly transcends genres and borders, exquisitely transporting his ancient instrument into the musical conversations of our time. Born in Tehran, Iran, Amiri is a master of the santur, a 72-string instrument dating from approximately 500 BCE.
Since arriving in Canada in 1996, Amiri has created numerous groundbreaking ensembles including the Amir Amiri Ensemble, inspired by the fluidity of musical influences in Iran. The Amir Amiri ensemble is an ensemble of virtuoso musicians from the Persian tradition: Amir Amiri (santur),  Abdul-Wahab Khayyali (oud), Reza Abaee (ghaychak),  Omar Abu Afech (Viola), and Hamin Honari (percussion). Inspired by the diversity and fluidity of the many musical influences of Iran, the Amir Amiri Ensemble creates an engaging and distinctive sound fusing the refinement of traditional and spiritual Persian music with folkloric and modern elements. In seeking to expand the boundaries of these musical traditions, balancing heritage and innovation, they find that the possibilities are limitless. In the eclectic musical universe of Amir Amiri Ensemble, borders are abolished to make way for bewitching alchemy, a mystical conversation between these kindred-spirit musicians

​Why stay at home when there’s a whole world to explore? In the organ lofts of Europe’s great cathedrals, Baroque keyboard players had unparalleled resources for musical expression, with all the grandeur and drama you could wish for. This program will take us on a musical tour of seventeenth- century Europe, stopping at the great churches of five major cities to hear the resident organists improvising: Seville, Rome, Augsburg, Passau, and Lübeck. The organ at Christ Church Cathedral provides an ideal venue for this program, which features some of the gloriously colourful South German music that inspired Helmuth Wolff to build this instrument.

Une soirée inoubliable avec Yves Lambert et son Grand Orchestre
La SFV a le grand honneur de présenter Yves Lambert, une véritable légende de la musique traditionnelle québécoise (Chanteur et cofondateur de La Bottine Souriante)
Pour souligner ses 50 ans de carrière, Yves Lambert s’offre un Grand Orchestre de 7 musiciennes et musiciens, avec son équipe de base, Paul Audy (guitare, voix) Robin Boulianne (violon, mandoline, podorythmie, voix) Mathieu Royer (contrebasse) auquel s’ajoutent Geneviève St-Pierre (clavier) et une section de vent rempli de chaleur avec Mélanie Bourrassa (clarinette basse et clarinette), Mary Chalk (basson) et Gabriel Schwartz (saxophone, flûte traversière, piccolo et percussion).
Avec le Grand Orchestre Yves part en grand ! Un spectacle généreux et festif avec une orchestration qui explore de nouvelles avenues harmoniques et rythmiques. Monsieur Lambert propose avec le Grand Orchestre, un spectacle empreint de textures sonores affirmant toujours sa « québécitude » passionnée, ouverte et créative.
 
Je suis un amoureux de l’harmonie, de la musicalité, peu importe le style de musique, et présentement, j’ai des musiciens qui sont vraiment des virtuoses. Malgré que j’ai un tempérament de rocker, même en faisant du folklore, on sent de la sensibilité. C’est fluide, c’est beau, c’est audacieux, ça a toutes les qualités – Yves Lambert

I'm a lover of harmony, musicality, no matter the style of music, and right now, I have musicians who are really virtuosos. Even though I have a rocker temperament, even when making folklore, you feel sensitivity. It's fluid, it's beautiful, it's bold, it has all the qualities – Yves Lambert

Yves Lambert, 50 ans de la Bottine à aujourd’hui !

General Admission -Presale until January 17

The 2025 Pacific Baroque Festival embraces the most cherished human values as expressed through the music of 17th and 18th century Germany. Curated by our featured soloist, the extraordinary German soprano Dorothee Mields, the programs exemplify the most profound emotions, expressed in music for voice and an intimate instrumental ensemble. The music of Buxtehude and Bach are a thread through the festival programs, combined with that of lesser-known composers whose music deserves to be heard.
 “Her vocal instrument is flawless: pure and transparent in timbre, yet capable of the most subtle inflections and cultivated shadings.  She can find both radiant sweetness and compelling emotional depth…”
– Vancouver Classical Music
“This soprano has everything: sweetness, “unaffected purity” (Charles Downey),pitch-perfect intonation, unflappable at any tempo, and with a movingly dramaticexecution of the text because she loves the word nearly as much as the note.”
– forbes.com
“Mields is splendid. Her poise, luminous vocalism and animated dialogue with theband show why she’s an Early Music legend.” 
– BBC Music Magazine

The German Reformation initiated by Martin Luther, along with the invention of the printing press, led to religious and cultural unrest, culminating in the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648). This resulted in an exceptionally fertile time in the arts, with writers, artists and composers reflecting the horrors of war and the longing for peace and heavenly pleasures.

World travel may have its attractions, but in the end there’s no place like home. In the privacy of a comfortable music room, Baroque keyboard players could explore musical ideas that were too intimate—or too irreveren —for a formal public setting. This program explores the capabilities of the Brombaugh chamber organ at St Barnabas Church to capture the sounds of home: laughter and tears, songs and dances, and even the sounds of a few domestic animals.
