Wind instruments were at the core of music’s historical development, yet today, the beauty of their voices is often under-appreciated. Though the works written for wind ensemble are truly wonderful, they are too seldom heard.


Founded in 2004 by John Larsen and Edith Eaton, the Ensemble Pacifica is dedicated to performing wind compositions and to bringing this genre to the attention of a larger audience. George Corwin, his passion for music well known in our community, leads the ensemble. As well as giving regular concerts, the group was invited to perform at the opening of the British Museum Exhibit at the Royal BC Museum. We are particularly pleased to be invited to perform at St. Paul's Anglican Church (The Old Naval & Garrison Chapel) in 2010, the 100th anniversary of our Canadian Navy.
