Musicians
Vancouver is a city rich with creative talent and incredible, diversely talented musicians. There has always been a core group of musicians that make up the orchestra but we have always had special guests and a slightly revolving personnel. Infinite thanks to all these musicians and composers who have made the Hard Rubber Orchestra possible. – John Korsrud, Artistic Director
