Volunteer

Thank you for supporting MusicFest Vancouver! Volunteering is one of the best ways to help the festival bring classical, world music, and jazz to Vancouver every August, while meeting new people, gaining experience, and enjoying some of the best concerts of the summer!

Volunteer Orientation Evening

At the orientation, you will receive your volunteer schedules, name tags, t-shirts, and complimentary tickets, as well as learn about this year’s festival and your volunteer positions. The orientation is mandatory for all volunteers.

This year’s orientation is on Wednesday July 27/2011 at 6:30pm-8:00pm at Christ Church Cathedral (690 Burrard Street at West Georgia, Vancouver).
