 July 19, Saturday,  3:30 and 4:45 pm performances

This multi-disciplinary project represents a unique collaboration between Other Sights for Artists’ Projects, the Vancouver Chamber Choir and the Vancouver Maritime Museum. The three part musical score of “Narvaez Bay: Tidal Predictions” is based on actual tide levels, lunar cycles and solar equinoxes and solstices. It offers a representation of the tension at the heart of tidal dynamics.
