Celebrate the arrival of Spring with the United Voices Choir. We are very excited to present a joyful and uplifting program of Handel's music, featuring the magnificent Coronation Anthems, including the famous Zadok the Priest, and the showpiece Dixit Dominus. This glorious music is sure to lift your spirits and brighten your day. Our choir of 65 voices, directed by the talented and inspiring Dr. Greg Caisley, will be joined by professional soloists and orchestra. Can any monarch have been crowned to more glorious music than George II in 1727? Handel’s four Coronation Anthems, which were commissioned for the occasion, embody majesty in music. These splendid choruses reflect Handel’s talent for writing music for grand occasions. Dixit Dominus is a dramatic tour de force for both singers and orchestra. Its unremitting energy and powerful intensity present considerable challenges for the performers, seldom equalled in his later works. Dixit is regarded as one of Handel's finest works - a feat of virtuosity. Come immerse yourself in the timeless brilliance of Handel's resplendent music!

Lucy Raven: Murderers Bar is the first major presentation of work by multidisciplinary artist Lucy Raven in Vancouver and the artist’s largest exhibition in Canada to date. Based in New York, Raven (b. 1977) works in installation, photography, video, drawing and sculpture to examine historic and contemporary representations and narratives of the American West. The exhibition takes its name from Raven’s newest work Murderers Bar (2025), the third installment in a series of moving-image installations and related works called The Drumfire. Co-commissioned by the Vancouver Art Gallery and The Vega Foundation, it features an ensemble of sculptural elements and a video, projected vertically on a tall, free-standing aluminum structure in the gallery space. Created between 2023 and 2025, the video centres around the recent removal of a century-old, concrete gravity dam along the Klamath River in Northern California—the biggest dam removal project in American history. The exhibition also presents previous and related works—including a selection from Raven’s series Depositions (2024) and Casters X-2 + X-3 (2021)—that provide further context to her practice and a broader appreciation of her ongoing investigations and visual language. The arc of these works reveals the intermingling of nature and technology; the frequent interrelation of military and entertainment applications; and the impact of these forces on lived experience. Together, the works in this exhibition provide a timely glimpse into the expanding field of Raven’s vision—the push and pull between human intervention and the more-than-human forces of nature and the physical world. The exhibition explores objectivity, subjectivity and perception, from individual and discrete elements of history, technology and the popular imagination to the broader sweep of geological and physical forces that define experience over millennia. This exhibition is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Featured Exhibitions Program. Murderers Bar is co-commissioned and jointly acquired by the Vancouver Art Gallery and The Vega Foundation.

Otani Workshop: Monsters in My Head is Otani’s first solo presentation in North America.

In its exhibition design, Emily Carr: Navigating an Impenetrable Landscape draws out the question of the opening and closing-off of space in Carr’s landscapes by contrasting a densely hung group of paintings with sparsely hung later works that depict an open horizon. Ironically, many of the spatially open works are open precisely because they depict landscapes that had been recently subject to clear-cut logging. This exhibition uses the spatial metaphor of closeness to and distance from nature to probe Carr’s thinking about the forests she painted. It will also examine how Carr’s representation of some Indigenous subjects—particularly villages and totem poles set within landscapes—sit in relation to the dense forest and what this might suggest, given the late 19th- and early 20th-century tendency to conflate Indigenous cultures with nature.

An Immersive Ambient Music Performance in 4.1 Surround Sound & 4D Audio by Amir Mehdi Vaseghi "The Echo" is a one-hour ambient performance composed in 4.1 surround sound and performed live at Lobe Studio, a purpose-built venue equipped with advanced 4D spatial sound technology that allows sound to move around, through, and above the listener. Merging real-time electronic synthesis with the organic resonance of traditional acoustic instruments, the piece creates a meditative sonic environment where sound becomes architecture. Listeners are immersed in shifting textures, subtle tonal movements, and emotional space. Reactive visual elements enhance the experience, gently shaping the atmosphere and deepening the sense of presence. This is not a concert. It is a contemplative journey, a moment of stillness rendered in vibration, space, and light.
