Hildegard Westerkamp @ 80

Celebrate a Canadian icon of sound as Vancouver honours her 80th birthday.

This special evening at the Fox Cabaret celebrates the groundbreaking work of Hildegard Westerkamp, a pioneering composer whose music transforms the act of listening into an art form.

From the urban buzz of city streets to the stillness of wilderness, Westerkamp’s compositions invite audiences to hear a new world. Drawing from the intricate relationship between living beings and sound, her music features voices of children, adults, noise, silence, electronic sounds, songs from different cultures, and more.

Award-winning performers Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa, piano; Norman Adams, cello; and Terri Hron, recorder and electronics; will bring Westerkamp’s music to life, weaving sound, space, and emotion into an unforgettable live experience.

Whether you’re a devoted contemporary music fan or simply curious to experience sound in a new way, this concert promises to be immersive, thought-provoking, and deeply moving.

This performance is part of Music on Main’s 20th Season.
Music that resonates.
