The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra continues in their series of festive performances with this exciting concert to welcome the new year. The program opens with a musical description of a fireworks display by Canadian composer Gary Kulesha and is followed by Haydn’s Symphony No. 45, the “Farewell” concert which is sure to delight audience and orchestra members alike as the musicians “bow out”, leaving the stage one by one during the final movement. They do return, however, for J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 which features the warm tones of the lower registered string instruments and end the celebratory evening with a rousing rendition of the Royal Fireworks Music by George Handel. The OSO is joined by the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan under the direction of Imant Raminsh and the Night Owl Orchestra, directed by Sheila French.
Please join the OSO in Penticton on Saturday, January 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cleland Theatre for this festive performance. Tickets are available from the Penticton & Wine Country Information Centre, 553 Railway Street, Tel:1-855-985-5000.
