Ninety classical musicians are traveling from UBC’s Vancouver campus to Surrey to perform a free evening concert on Friday.

The same evening (Oct. 9) at the Bell Performing Arts Centre (6250 144 St.), a free public concert will feature Debussy's Prélude à l’après midi d’un faune, Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin, Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27 and Miller's Soundscape for a Century Past.
