10 - Sunday, Decem.ner 9, 1990 - North Shore News Xmas charities to benefit from free VSO concert THE VANCOUVER Symphony Orchestra will be playing at the Lonsdale Quay on Sunday. Dee. 16, to warm the cockles of patrons’ yuletide hearts and to loosen the purse strings of patrons’ wallets — for charity, of course. Presented by the North Shore News, the North Shore Credit Union and Lonsdale Quay Mar- ket, the VSO (minus a few musi- cians) will be giving two perfor- mances in the Quay's rotunda on Dec. 16, at 1 p.m. and at 2:30 p.m. Audience members are asked to bring non-perishable food items, toys or cash or cheque donations to the Quay for the North Van- couver Christmas Bureau and the West Vancouver Santa Claus Fund, said Quay spokesman Janet King. “We're hopeful that everyone will bring a small donation,’’ said King, adding that volunteers from the North Shore Credit Union Staff Association will be moving through the audience during the concerts asking for donations. Conducted by Brian Jackson, the concert program includes Humperdinck’s Prelude to Hansel and Gretel, A Christmas Festival by Anderson, Sleigh Ridge by Delius and Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker by Tchaikov- sky. Audience members should also bring their singing voices because the VSO will be playing a sing- along selection. Carol sheets will be provided for such old Christmas favorites as O Come All Ye Faithful, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. If patrons drive to the concert, they can choose from under- ground parking at the Quay, the ICBC parkade, two lots off West Ist Ave., the lot at 168 Chadwick Crt., and the lot on Carrie Cates Court.
