Venturous and vibrant Verdant vibes in Vancouver
Verdant Collective is a Vancouver-based chamber music ensemble, celebrating our city's exceptional talent.
Our mission is to enrich our local artistic ecosystem by presenting chamber music at a high artistic level both inside and beyond the concert hall. Through performances of thoughtfully curated programs, we make music accessible and enjoyable for enthusiasts and newcomers to classical music alike.
Our Values
Artistic Excellence
Our world-class musicians are dedicated to performing high-calibre chamber music in both traditional and non-traditional settings.
Artistic Integrity
We are committed to present every performance with authenticity. We believe that a concert is an experience that has the potential to reveal and reflect our innermost selves for both musicians and audiences alike.
Inspiring Programming
Our programming is a collective decision between the musicians. We thoughtfully curate repertoire that excites us as artists hoping to create memorable experiences for our audiences, while leaving space for spontaneity, improvisation, and audience feedback.
Movement
Not only do we hope that the music we perform moves audiences, we also hope to be in motion with our audience members. Music is not static and we are constantly exploring the relationship between sound and physical motion. Check out our calendar to see when we will collaborate with your next run club or movement practice.
Community
We believe that the concert experience begins long before entering the concert hall and that the music we share is for everyone—from avid concertgoers to those discovering classical music for the first time. Each performance is followed with time to meet the musicians and to connect with fellow concert goers.
Everyone is welcome.
Partnerships
Meaningful collaboration happens both among us as musicians and with our audiences. We take pride in partnering with local businesses and artists to create unique, community-centred experiences that bring chamber music into new spaces and connect with diverse audiences.
