Steeped in Sound

Some places never leave us. They return in a familiar melody, the scent of tea, a sound we haven’t heard in years.

A kettle comes to a boil. A low murmur rises to a whistle. Let it stretch into a note, then follow it somewhere unexpected: into an ancient legend from northeastern China, across a Canadian landscape, and towards a distant flourish of Scottish bagpipe.

Steeped in Sound is an afternoon concert of tall tales, tea leaves and well-travelled tunes, presented by the Vancouver Chinese Instrumental Music Society and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. Join us Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 2–4 PM at 578 Carrall Street, Vancouver.
