The Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra’s annual Global Soundscapes Festival is a rich feast of sound and rhythm, celebrating the intersection of traditional sounds and instruments from all over the world with contemporary classical music by Canadian composers. After producing digital versions of the festival in 2020 and 2021, the VICO is thrilled to once more be presenting it live and in-person this year!
