SUMMARY:Vancouver Island Symphony: Arabian Nights
DESCRIPTION:The Vancouver Island Symphony opens its 32nd season at Nanaim
 o's Port Theatre with Arabian Nights\, a full orchestral concert performe
 d on Saturday\, October 17\, 2026. Based at the 800-seat Port Theatre on 
 Front Street in downtown Nanaimo\, the professional orchestra presents a 
 season of Classics and Pops programs that runs through the following spri
 ng\, and this season opener sets the tone with a program of colour\, dram
 a and storytelling drawn from the music of the East. Audiences can expect
  the sweeping\, cinematic sound of a live symphony orchestra in an intima
 te\, acoustically rich hall where every seat is close to the stage. The V
 ancouver Island Symphony has been a cornerstone of central Island cultura
 l life for more than three decades\, employing Island-based and visiting 
 professional musicians and offering everything from grand classical reper
 toire to film music and family concerts across its season. Tickets are so
 ld individually or as part of a season subscription through the orchestra
  and the Port Theatre box office\, and concerts typically begin at 7:30 i
 n the evening. The downtown location puts the theatre within easy walking
  distance of Nanaimo's harbourfront restaurants\, making a concert night 
 an easy evening out. It is an elegant\, accessible introduction to live o
 rchestral music for Nanaimo audiences.\n\nhttps://vanislenet.net/events/v
