Artpark: Sarah McLachlan shows why she's iconic

There’s vocally gifted, and then there’s Sarah McLachlan.

The Canadian singer once again showed why she’s considered one of the top vocalists on Earth, delighting a sold-out Artpark Mainstage Theater audience on Tuesday. McLachlan performed a string of hits – including “Sweet Surrender,” “Building a Mystery” and “I Will Remember You” – before recreating her now 30-year-old album, “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.”

Prior to her performance, the Grammy and Juno award-winning McLachlan shared news about her educational initiative, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which is providing opportunities for youth in Vancouver, Edmonton and Surrey. $1 from each ticket will go to support SoM.

Feist served as the opening act, performing a singer/songwriter set headlined by her smash hit “1234.”

In between acts, the Artpark audience was treated to a mixtape filled with songs from 1990s-era female singers and female-fronted bands.
