Get ready, tickets are going on sale this Wednesday, September 7th for the 2022 Modulus Festival presented by Music on Main, November 3-8, 2022.
Featuring a program of invigorating and inspiring live performances at various venues across Vancouver, Music on Main returns to full festival mode to welcome audiences to listen, in-person, to more great music.
The 2022 Modulus Festival, invites audiences to engage in the live music, hear performances by legendary composers, and learn and discover something new!
Highlights off the Festival include the return of Nancy Tam and Robyn Jacob’s “Double Happiness: Detour This Way,” a collection of personal stories of migration from the Chinese diaspora with an art-pop aesthetic. Late night concerts curated by Coastal Jazz feature three nights of improv with Modulus musicians. François Houle’s Canadian premiere of “The Secret Lives of Colour,” makes moving music based on the historical connections between the moods and spirits of colour.
Take in the musical poetry of Ayelet Gottlieb’s “13 Lunar Mediations: Summoning the Witches,” which explores our relationship with the moon and the effect it has on us. Experience the lingering beauty of Dory Hayley singing Morton Feldman’s legendary “Three Voices.” Listen to the music of dreams with Vancouver favourite, Standing Wave. Enter Steven Takasugi’s imaginative world of spectacular chaos, as No Hay Banda performs “Side Show,” taking audiences on an adventure full of absurd tragedy.
