The curtain is coming down on an incredible 40-year run for Vancouver’s only classical music store. Sikora’s Classical Records has announced it will close up shop for good.
Located on the edge of Gastown on Hastings between Richards and Homer, Sikora’s is beloved for classical music fans and collectors. It currently boasts more than 50,000 collectible albums in stock.
Visitors to the music shop love the venue for its browse-able inventory that spans the centuries, and includes harder-to-find genres such as Celtic and New Age, along with the broader category of classical. Sikora’s is also well-known for its knowledgeable staff of music lovers.
Owner Ed Savenye began his relationship with Sikora’s as a customer in the 1990s, according to the CBC, eventually entering into ownership in partnership with others, including the Sikoras themselves.
Right now the store is offering discounts on their inventory in a closing clearance sale. Sikora’s will close its doors for good on Feb. 28, 2019, which happens to be the 40th anniversary of its opening.
Sikora’s is located at 432 West Hastings St.
