About the concert

Experience an electrifying evening of genre-defying music as the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s Chwyl Family School of Contemporary Music presents its annual Faculty Concert.

Under the direction of Daniel Lapp, this concert brings together our world-class faculty for a high-energy showcase spanning jazz, folk, rock, hip-hop, electronica, and more. From innovative originals to fresh takes on beloved classics, this is a night that celebrates the vibrant soundscape of contemporary music.

A special highlight of the evening is the introduction of this year’s Henwood Family Prize for Emerging Artists winners—outstanding young musicians (ages 12 to 21) who will either take the stage for a live performance or have their music professionally recorded at the Conservatory.

Come and celebrate the creativity of our faculty and the next generation of emerging artists!
