The Joy of Music (JOM) invites you to:

Join us for an unimaginable night filled with dancers and musicans of the highest calibre. For the very first time, we present superstar violinist Timothy Chooi, who will grace us with a solo and chamber music performance. New to our roster is cellist Sophie van der Sloot, one of the youngest members of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal - serving the 2nd Assistant Principal position. Once more, our esteemed Artistic Lead (Music) Chris Au presents both solo and chamber works on piano.

As for our magical dancers, this year we welcome even more dancers to the stage. Artistic Lead (Dance) Peggy Baker and member of our Artistic Team, Jera Wolfe, are both creating new works for us. How exciting is that??

We have the likes of Katherine Semchuk, Jessica Runge, Emily Spearing, and Derek Souvannavong joining us with live musicians on stage, all beautiful lit up in the Betty Oliphant Theatre by our resident wizard: Gabriel Cropley.
