Things To Do: 6 can't-miss Vancouver arts events this week, March 28 to April 3
Editor’s choice
Ziya Tabassian
It’s a rare musician who has the honour of being presented by both Early Music Vancouver, purveyors of all things baroque and beyond, and Music on Main, whose focus is on 21st-century innovation. It’s also a rare musician who can perform Persian classical music, Italian art song, and contemporary improvisation with equal aplomb. Combine all of those qualities into a single Venn diagram, and you’ll find Montreal-based Ziya Tabassian at its centre. Just last month, Tabassian and Ensemble Constantinople joined soprano Susie LeBlanc in an EMV program of Venetian music that was rapturously received, and now the setar master is coming back with Estonian singer and violinist Maarja Nuut to play MoM’s A Month of Tuesdays series at the Fox Cabaret on April 3. Expect magic.
