Queen Latifah has had to cancel her appearance at Deer Lake with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and Bernadette Peters is taking her place.

The free outdoor concert happens on Burnaby's Deer Lake Park Festival Lawn on Saturday night (June 29) at 8 p.m.

A veteran of Broadway, Peters is set to perform favourite songs from her career, including Stephen Sondheim classics like "Send in the Clowns", "No One Is Alone", and "Losing My Mind".

Peters’s long-time musical director, Marvin Laird, will lead the VSO. Maestro Otto Tausk and the VSO will open the concert with selections from Leonard Bernstein’s "On the Town" and "West Side Story".

The concert is part of the VSO’s gift back to the community, celebrating the wrap-up of its 100th anniversary season.
