UBC Old Auditorium

This is a small auditorium near the UBC music school and five minutes walk from Chan Centre.

The building is quite unassuming but, has a nice feel inside, has tall windows on both sides and a small balcony. According to the information on the website the building was fully renovated in 2010. The acoustics is good. But the balcony seats are too close for tall people. The guy next to us had a hard time seating straight.

We came here recently for a piano competition. Three students played three different piano concertos. We thoroughly enjoyed Schumann’s piano concerto. It was a great performance by Jaeden Izumi-Dzurko, who is studying music at UBC.

We plan to come more often. The ticket prices are very attractive. And the music is good.

Good to be back watching live theatre again. Saw Gondoliers, Gilbert & Sullivan classic, with household members. Nice little theatre, and quite an affordable outing.

Wonderful
