Okanagan Symphony Orchestra presents NORTHERN LIGHTS

It’s been a banner year for northern lights. Those fortunate to have clear skies and to be awake in the wee hours have experienced the mysterious and magical nighttime light shows right across Canada. Our take on this wondrous phenomenon comes in the form of our final concert of the season, titled NORTHERN LIGHTS, for its focus on music by composers from northern countries. “Composers from the northern part of the world are often influenced by the grandeur of their landscape,” says OSO Music Director Rosemary Thomson. “This program features works by Finland’s greatest composer, Jean Sibelius, Canadians Jocelyn Morlock and Marcus Goddard, and the Okanagan’s own, Latvian-born, Imant Raminsh. We are especially delighted to welcome back our guest artist, cellist Ariel Barnes, who firmly established himself as an audience favourite in past appearances with the OSO.
