Pender Harbour
Pender Harbour is the collective name for a cluster of communities that surround one of the best natural harbours on BC's lower coast. It is located northwest of Vancouver, only a 35-minute ferry ride and 1-hour drive from the Lower Mainland.
The community of Pender Harbour is renowned for its physical beauty. It surrounds a body of water which constitutes one of the most protected harbours on BC's west coast. It has soaring mountains and small coves, seabirds on the wing, and abundant plant and animal life. It is an idyllic setting.
Our vision is to present musical events within the context of this beautiful setting which will take the listener to a new level of spiritual well being, whether that audience member be a resident of the community or a visitor.

The first in the Music Society's Concert Series for 2012 was standing room only.

October 16, 2011 - The Lafayette String Quartet delighted its audience with two Beethoven quartets, and a challenging Stravinsky work on a sunny Sunday afternoon in mid-October. And then, after asking "How do you follow Beethoven?", they proved they could do so by giving us the finale from a Haydn quartet, proving they really are a tour de force on the Canadian music scene.
