Erato Ensemble celebrates 10 seasons of music-making with a concert of Homegrown compositions composed and premiered by Erato since 2007!
Since its inception in 2006, Erato Ensemble has premiered over 75 new works, most by Vancouver-based composers. On July 8 they will celebrate this city’s diverse and exceptional talent by revisiting some of their favourite works composed specially for them.
In addition to the encore performances, Erato will premiere a brand new work by Michael Park. The Knitting Club involves not only the entire ensemble, but the audience as well! Listeners are invited to bring their knitting and join in the celebration as the piece unfolds. There will also be an opportunity to purchase items knitted by Erato’s own avid knitting musicians! Don’t know how to knit? Come early for a pre-show knitting lesson!
Homegrown also serves as a fundraiser for Erato’s 2017-18 season. Tickets will be by donation at the door. Help us put the FUN in fundraiser – pay what you can and party with us as we celebrate our anniversary and honour Vancouver’s talented composers and musicians. If you want to be sure to get a seat, you may donate online at the link below (suggested donation $20). Drinks will be available at the cash bar.

Canada is a maritime nation, with the longest coastline in the world bordering three oceans. Each day that we are alive, we literally live and breathe the ocean. It doesn’t matter where you live or what you do. If you are presently alive on the planet Earth, your life is inextricably intertwined with the ocean.
That’s why Living Oceans Society is working to ensure a healthy ocean by protecting the four pillars of ocean ecosystems: habitat, biodiversity, food webs, and water quality.
Erato is proud to partner with Living Oceans Society on this program of music inspired by the Sea.
Repertoire:
Edward Elgar: Sea Pictures
Gabriel Faure: L’horizon chimerique
