Welcome

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.

We are performing nineteen concerts in this, our 2007-2008 season.

Our mainstage season comes to a thundering and dramatic close with Michael Kim as Guest Pianist playing the towering Rachmaninov Piano Concert No. 3. May concerts will also see the introduction of the 2008-2009 performance year to our audiences, with tickets and subscriptions going on sale shortly thereafter.

Come and be part of the passion of live music with us. In Kelowna, May 2nd; in Penticton, May 3rd, and in Vernon, May 4th. Click on our "News" page to find the news release for the May show to get details.

We have shared our stages with remarkable guest soloists this year, who have thrilled us with their virtuosity and moved us with their artistry. We have also shared our stages with some of the most talented young musicians from our valley communities.

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.
