Go Softly

Featuring Vancouver's top musicians specializing in the music of China, India, the Middle East and moorish Europe, the Big World Band mixes culture into a New World Music that is a mirror of Vancouver in the 21st century. Treat yourself to the sounds of the world remixed into new combinations.

The Go Softly Project is the first in a series of musical exploration by the ensemble.
Go Softly features the plucked strings of the Silk Road, with new and old music written and arranged by Vancouver composers John Oliver and Farshid Samandari. Hear the sounds of Spain transported to China, and Iran transformed into a new mixed culture, and many other treats.

Forget the News of the World! Come hear the sounds of the world, here at home in Vancouver.
