Vancouver Island Symphony — Wall to Wall Percussion
A Vancouver Island Symphony family concert at The Port Theatre in Nanaimo. Percussion superstar Vern Griffiths welcomes the audience into 'his house' for a wildly fun, hands-on percussion adventure — a kitchen concerto using pots and pans, wooden spoons and glass bottles, showing how anyone can make and play instruments at home. Conductor: Scott MacInnes. A pay-what-you-can family event.
