Abbotsford residents and visitors from across the Lower Mainland were treated to a unique musical circus on Saturday.

Cirque Musica performed at the Abbotsford Entertainment Centre to a jubilant crowd of children and adults alike.

The show blended the traditional daring performances of highwire walkers, balancing acts, and trapeze artists, with the power of a 40-person orchestra playing everything from Tchaikovsky to Bruno Mars.

This was Cirque Musica’s only Canadian tour stop. The show continues its tour in the United States.
