CLASS of 2016: On Stage! is UBC’s Baccalaureate Concert re-imagined for the UBC 100 Centennial celebrations. This year we feature talented students from throughout the UBC Arts & Culture District. You’ll enjoy music, theatre, film, poetry, prose and visual art prepared and presented by graduating students from our class of 2016.

Come early and hear a special centennial medley performed by a jazz septet made up of students and faculty of the UBC School of Music. Celebrating 100 Years of Popular Song at UBC includes tunes selected from each decade of the last 100 years woven together and arranged by Fred Stride to celebrate UBC’s landmark anniversary. Historical images of UBCs creative and performing arts will be shown in the theatre during the medley.

Medley and slideshow at 7:30pm, concert begins at 8:00pm.

Free to attend.
