Classical music preview

Writer David Gordon Duke previews the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra's new season and the state of the VSO, examining some trends and themes and highlights, including an intterview with pianist Avan Yu, who opens the season with three concerts this weekend. Also watch for an opener for the Vancouver Chamber Choir season, which Duke says is not only the best choral group in the region, but a widely applauded group that commissions new works and can hold their own with the world's best. They face a tough season as their Arts Council grants were cut by 75 per cent.
