VCC's dean of music, Sal Ferreras, has collaborated on a new video from the Four Host First Nations aimed at showing a new face of aboriginal culture as the Olympics bring attention to British Columbia.
It's titled Four Host First Nations Welcome, and the video saw Ferreras playing an integral part as its music director and producer; he performed on the score as well.

On November 30 and December 3, 2009, the School of Music put on two gala concerts at the downtown branch of the Vancouver Public Library, featuring many of the school's ensembles. The Jazz Orchestra, Pre-Bop Ensemble and the Madrigal Singers took the stage on Tuesday night, and Thursday offered up the VCC Concert Choir, Short Fuse and Latin Jazz Ensembles. The concerts were free of charge, and the house was full both nights. The event was such a success that the school intends to do similar concerts in future terms. Stay tuned for more details.
