Fill your soul with radiant music this winter season.

At the most crucial point of the winter in Vancouver, when the rain is constant and darkness comes too early, Music on Main brings light to Heritage Hall, transforming the gloom of the season into a celebration of the Winter Solstice.

Music for the Winter Solstice is Music on Main’s beloved annual tradition that is anything but conventional. Described as “calm and contemplative” and “Intimate, warm, and welcoming” (STIR) the seasonal performance is all about being together, having a nice glass of wine, and listening to some enchanting music.

Experience pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa, vocalist Amanda Sum, violinist Karen Gerbrecht, and cellist Olivia Blander whose music will uplift your spirits and infuse the season with magic and joy.

Choose from two nights of gorgeous music that fills your soul.

Looking for the ultimate holiday gift? Treat your loved one to a memorable evening that is sure to be the highlight of their season.

This concert is generously sponsored by Eileen Mate.

Grand piano provided by Showcase Pianos.

Accessibility
Heritage Hall (located at 3102 Main Street) has two entrances, one at street level and one up three steps of standard height, approximately 20 feet of flat surface, and 26  lower-than-standard-height steps. There are handrails beside all the staircases.

For the accessible entrance, please inform the staff member who will be stepping outside regularly and they will open the gated doors to the right of the main entrance. These doors are required by the venue to be kept closed, and so staff will need a couple of moments to accommodate. Staff will also need to open this door when patrons are leaving.

The main room is fully-accessible, with chairs set up throughout. Chairs are not fixed, and therefore can sometimes be moved to create a barrier. Staff are on hand to assist with removal if necessary. The main floor has a single-stall, gender neutral washroom, but please note that there is no auto door opener. Additional washrooms are located down a spiral staircase of approximately 20 steps. 

Please contact Music on Main at [email protected] or by phone at (604) 879-9888 if you have any questions.
