The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra fills the Orpheum on Friday and Saturday with Antony Hermus conducting: Scriabin's Rêverie to open, Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 with soloist Kevin Zhu, then Prokofiev's Cinderella Suite, the ballet score with a midnight clock built into it. About two hours with one intermission. The Orpheum's gilded 1927 hall does most of the work for a date.
