Vivace!

The Kitimat Concert Association is pleased to present Vivace in concert on Friday, January 17 at the Mount Elizabeth Theatre starting at 8:00 p.m.

Vivace (an Italian music term for playing music in a lively and brisk manner) is a sophisticated and thrilling combination of four exceptional pop musicians and two classical singers. Together these six artists create an experience that you don’t want to miss.

Based primarily out of Vancouver, Vivace started merging their talents in 2010, performing at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Since then, they have gone on to tour extensively throughout Canada and the U.S., captivating audiences everywhere they go.

Vivace’s stirring combination of male and female voices creates a sound that is exclusively their own, setting them apart in the classisal-crossover pantheon. With a rich and diverse repertoire ranging from pop songs, to opera arias, to their own self-written material. Vivace undoubtedly puts a fresh spin on both classical and contemporary music.
