CANADA FOR
MUSIC LOVERS

Canada boasts a wealth of musical talent and caters for all tastes. Summer
festivals abound across the country, where you can soak up sounds in the
great outdoors. In winter, attend classical concerts at a splendid venue, head
for a steamy jazz joint, or enjoy the heady songs of the French chansonniers.

Incredible Venues
There’s no better place to
hear today’s musical stars
than in one of Canada’s
historic concert venues, and
there are shows to suit all
tastes. The Royal Alexandra
Theatre in Toronto, which
stages Broadway musicals
and hosts world-class concert
performers, is the country’s
oldest continuously operating
theater. In Vancouver, you can
hear Grammy award-winners
at the Art Deco Commodore
Ballroom, or spend an
evening with the symphony
orchestra at the opulent
Orpheum Theatre.
