White Rock Concert Archives
A Wealth of Music in an Interactive Database
White Rock Concerts has a storied history since its founding in 1956, presenting annual concert seasons for a member-only audience which has grown and flourished along with us. This is the wonderful legacy of our founding Artistic Director, and now Artistic Director Emeritus, George Zukerman, who sought out and presented talented performers, both Canadian and International, to our community for our first 60 years!
We have sought to assemble the details of our concert history, and have successfully retrieved information about concert presentations back to approximately 1970-1971, and copies of concert programmes back to 1993-1994. All of the available information has now been entered into an incredible interactive archive database.

We have also created another Excel file that functions as a searchable Archive database for a collection of historic print media articles referencing White Rock Concerts. Click to download. Features in this searchable file, using Excel software, function in the same manner as for the concert programme archive.

These archives are an important part of our history and legacy as one of the few surviving Canadian “audience-organized” concert societies run by volunteers.
