Vancouver’s “highly popular series that’s as musically adventurous as it is socially gregarious”  (The Georgia Straight)

Launched to critical acclaim in 2006, Vancouver's Music on Main is dedicated to great music in casual but stimulating environments, with top-flight musicians, an ear for contemporary music, and refreshing concert formats.

In just four seasons, Music on Main has produced nearly 100 concerts featuring more than 250 musicians and 30 world premieres at Heritage Hall on Main Street and at the Cellar Restaurant and Jazz Club in Kitsilano.

From Baroque to Post-Folk, from Brahms sonatas to electronic improv, from hardcore Modernism to hard-driving Minimalism, Music on Main is interested in great music, whatever we might call it.
