The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra (OSO) is bringing ѻýComfort and Joyѻý to the holiday season.
This year, the orchestra featuring tenor Ken Lavigne and the Okanagan Childrenѻýs Choir will be making stops in Kelowna, Penticton, and Vernon to sing everyoneѻýs favourite Christmas carols.
ѻýMusic is such an important part of celebrating the holidays, and has been for centuries,ѻý said OSO Music Director Rosemary Thomson. ѻýAdding voices to orchestra is the ultimate way to sing in the season and Iѻým thrilled that BCѻýs own Ken Lavigne will join the Okanagan Childrenѻýs Choir and the OSO for our concert at this magical time of year.ѻý
Lavigne is a founding member of the Canadian Tenors, as well as OSOѻýs timpanist Dominique Bernath.
ѻýI love so many things about the holiday season, the eggnog, the lights but I especially love the music and all the memories that come from this time of year,ѻý said Lavigne. ѻýI am so excited to perform with the OSO and the Okanagan Childrenѻýs Choir.ѻý
This is also the fourth time the Okanagan Childrenѻýs Choir is making with OSO.
The show is taking place on:
ѻý Friday, Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kelowna Community Theatre
ѻý Saturday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cleland Community Theatre
