The Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra teams up with Van Django for its annual Classical Cabaret show.
"It should be a fun event," says music director and conductor Stephen Robb.
The performance, the local orchestra's main fundraiser of the year, is scheduled for Nov. 16 at the Harris Barn in Ladner.
Robb, who says guests on the second level will be able to overlook the orchestra, is hoping the audience will feel closer to the musicians compared to a venue like a hotel banquet room.
Van Django is an acoustic string ensemble made up of talented and eclectic musicians: violinist Cameron Wilson, guitarist Budge Schachte, guitarist/cellist Finn Manniche and bassist Brent Gubbels.
Robb is writing some new orchestrations with Wilson and Schachte for the upcoming cabaret.
The show will also feature the orchestra's symphony group, intermediate group, intermezzi orchestra as well as some chamber ensembles.
Classical Cabaret is set for Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Harris Barn, 4140 Arthur Dr., Ladner. The evening starts with cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets are $70 for adults and $35 for children (13 and under). Tickets purchased before Nov. 2 are $60 for adults and $30 for children. All tickets include dinner (catered by the Coast Tsawwassen Inn).
