Posted 06.15.2007 Voya & The Borealis String Quartet Adaptive was very happy to sponsor the after party to the "Breaking the Song Barrier" performance this evening. The concert took place at the Roundhouse Community Centre and featured the voice talents of Voya, combined with the musical work of the Borealis String Quartet. Featured pieces included classical opera, and contemporary music in a unique arrangement. The entire experience was captivating and culminated in a wonderful party at the Sea to Sky Golf offices in Gastown where guests were able to mingle with the performers, and each other.
