WV Concerts by the Sea

catherine barr

SUMMERTIME is here and that means music. All across the North Shore, summer outdoor concert events are taking place at no charge to you the public. Sunday, June 30 kicked off the West Vancouver Concert by the Sea series which takes place outside the Ferry Building Gallery at the foot of 14th Street. Harmony House Music Studio was happy to open the series with a number of different performances by the school's students and teachers. So bring your chairs, or just find a log, and join everyone on the beach every Sunday night at 7 p.m. all during July and August.
