Standing Wave Ensemble

Western Canada’s foremost contemporary chamber ensemble, Standing Wave is a sextet of intrepid new music interpreters dedicated to commissioning and performing cutting-edge music from today’s most forward-thinking composers. 

Acclaimed internationally for their virtuosity, vision, and artistry, Standing Wave has cultivated a reputation for electrifying live performance that pushes the boundaries of what chamber music is and can be. 

The performance will include works by Vancouver composers Cam Wilson, Mariah Mennie and Peggy Lee, and Grammy and Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Higdon.

“Fresh sounds that twist and surprise… Standing Wave is a vital contemporary voice with drop-dead ingenious musicians.” – The Vancouver Sun
