Founded in 1964, the Victoria Conservatory of Music (VCM) has trained generations of musicians. They slowly outgrew several locations – the Union Hall near Centennial Square, Craigdarroch Castle, the annex of St Ann’s Academy. In 1997, with over 1000 students, they purchased the Metropolitan United Church at the corner of Quadra and Pandora, moving into the space in 1999.
The magnificent 800 seat Alix Goolden Hall is a much desired performance venue. After years of booking the space for touring musicians and local groups, the VCM has decided to play host to their own series.
