About the event
Admission is free with an RSVP ticket. All are welcome.

The annual Spark to Flame concert, presented by the Ann & George Nation Conservatory School of Classical Music, is a cherished event that nurtures the talents of young, emerging artists as they take their first steps toward professional musicianship. In this milestone year, as the Victoria Conservatory of Music celebrates its 60th anniversary and 25 years of performances in the Alix Goolden Performance Hall, the event promises to be more memorable than ever.
Open to all Conservatory students, soloists are selected through a rigorous audition process and then guided by Conservatory faculty in the weeks leading up to the concert, including special rehearsals with an orchestra.
This year’s performance, held on Saturday, March 1, 2025, will spotlight seven exceptional student soloists, accompanied by an ensemble of peers, faculty, and professional musicians for an evening of inspiring music.
Free admission to this concert is made possible through the generous support of the Music Performance Trust Fund.
