Special Events at St. James Community Square

Wheelchair accessibility

The 40+ year old wheel chair lift has been replaced with a new model that can carry up to 1,000 pounds/454 kg. Handicapped access to St. James Hall has been significantly improved and new access to the western portion of the main floor has been created. This improvement has been made possible with financial assistance from The City of Vancouver, Canada Western Bank, The Highbury Foundation, F.K. Morrow Foundation, The John Hardie Mitchell Foundation, and The Hylcan Foundation, plus individual donors.


Kits Classics + Worlds Beyond

Join us for 2009-2010 marking our twelfth concert season of wonderful chamber and world music performances featuring some of Vancouver's finest musicians.

Admission is by donation.

February 28th, 4pm:

Kits Classics + Worlds Beyond presents Johanna Hauser on clarinet, Reginald Quiring on viola, and Rosemary O’Connor on piano performing music by Robert Schumann, Max Bruch, Claude Debussy, and Darius Milhaud.

This is a fun, alternate event for those not attending the Olympic closing ceremonies.

Adventurous programming, an informal atmosphere, and great musicians, to say nothing of cookies and juice served during intermission, make the Kits Classics + Worlds Beyond concert series a perennial favourite. The series makes high quality, live music accessible in every way, from the cost of admission, which is free or by donation, to the configuration of the seats; the performers abandon the stage and set up on the floor with the audience seated around them.

We gratefully acknowledge St. James Community Square, Vancity Savings, Parthenon Foods, Mustel Group Market Research, Calhoun’s, Safeway, IGA, and private individuals for their generous support of these concerts.
