Whether you’re coming to your first concert or have been a supporter since the beginning, we look forward to welcoming you to the “circle” of musica intima.

2022-23 SEASON CONCERTS

SEASON
MI - Hiraeth - webpage.jpg

OCTOBER 29 & 30, 2022

CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL
HERITAGE HALL

Hiraeth

Hiraeth, an untranslatable Welsh word, is the concept of a deep longing for a place, or a time - one that can never be returned to. Soundscapes and soundworlds inspired by nature created by composers such as Joanna Ward, Ramona Luengen, Sherryl Sewepagaham, Gabriela Lena Frank and Andrew Balfour will offer comfort to a community coming out of two years of isolation.

SHEPHERD OF THE VALLEY, LANGLEY
CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, VANCOUVER
WEST VANCOUVER UNITED CHURCH

Winter Patterns

Our December offering taps into the nostalgia and magic of winters past, as we gather together with family and friends. We'll feature movements from Veljo Tormis' Winter Patterns, alongside songs of the winter season by Karine Polwart, Melissa Dunphy, and Rodney Sharman, and the concert will be sprinkled with favourite Christmas carols arranged by ensemble members past and present.

ST. JAMES COMMUNITY SQUARE

ding dong

This year, we return to the cozy and festive atmosphere of Ding Dongs past - to raise a glass and sing together, to celebrate the season with music both raucous and tender. You'll hear past favourites by The Pogues, Dolly Parton, and The Chieftains, as well as new arrangements of tunes by Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, Richard Inman and Ron Sexsmith, by members of mi. We'll once again be joined by members of Mad Pudding and forever friends of musica intima, Andy Hillhouse and Amy Stephens, this year alongside Jodi Proznick on bass.

APRIL 28 & 29, 2023

HERITAGE HALL 
CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL

(re)birth

We acknowledge our past while gazing towards the future, through music driven by ripe imagery of fertility, blossoming, and growth. Featuring Canadian composers Malika Tirolien, Toru Takemitsu, and Jane Berry, alongside a brand new commission by Tawnie Olson, we'll also revisit moments from Silver, our 25th anniversary commission by Vancouver composer Kris Fulton, and dazzle you with Lasse Thoresen's virtuosic and rarely performed Solbøn (Sunrise). For the third year running, we'll also be joined by a mentored quartet from the Vancouver Youth Choir.

Your continued support of one of Canada’s musical gems is vital, allowing us to continue presenting world-class performances at home and abroad, and supporting generations of professional musicians.
