In a season full of bold moves and interdisciplinary action, Vetta Chamber Music is taking an unusual course by kicking its year off with a pair of concerts devoted entirely to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven.

No one does that these days, right? With violinist and Vetta artistic director Joan Blackman, cellist Ariel Barnes, and pianist Jane Coop (shown here) on-stage, however, the performances—at West Point Grey United Church next Thursday and Friday (September 15 and 16)—should be every bit as fresh as the scores are familiar.

Think scintillating sonatas and the gorgeously eerie “Ghost Trio”.
