Okanagan Symphony welcomes the torch relay to Penticton with a brass fanfare January 25, 2010
Our Masterworks Subscription Series has something for everyone in this Anniversary Year ~ young and young-at-heart music afficionado and novice alike ~ treats for eyes as well as the ears! The season opens with the inspirational Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5, followed by concerts showcasing Flute & Harp and Double Violin Concertos, a rocking Timpani Concerto, a complete re-creation of the OSO's Very First Concert performed in 1959, and concluding with Beethoven's truly magnificent 9th Symphony, "Ode to Joy" and the World Premiere of "Quaternity" by Composer Imant Raminsh. New and exciting young musicians, choruses, and great orchestrations.
Our concert specials include our classical Christmas show featuring the Kelowna Pipe Band and drummers with Penticton soprano Tracy Fehr giving us a rendition of seasonal offerings like you've never heard and seen before! And Vocalist Michael Hope brings a night of Andrew Lloyd Webber hits to the stage: songs from Cats, Evita, Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Beauty & the Beast. He is joined by soprano Melina Moore in 5 duets. Moore will also sing two solos, including "Don't Cry for me, Argentina"...you'll be humming the music in your head for days!! This is a fully orchestrated show with the entire Okanagan Symphony onstage with Hope & Moore.

Music gives voice to the richness of the human experience, that which we feel most deeply; joy and sorrow, love and agony, hope and despair, victory and defeat. Come and be transformed by the power of this orchestral literature. Discover the grandeur of the towering masters, the freshness of new voices and the comfort of familiar friends. These all await you when you come to one of our valley performance halls, in Kelowna, in Vernon and in Penticton. Whatever your passion, we have something for everyone.
Music has a unique power to inspire, soothe, and animate our lives. This power is heightened when experienced live. I invite you to join us to see it, hear it, and love it.
