Concert Season

In a French Cafe

October 24, 25, 26 (2008)

Cancioneros - José Evangelista
Carnival of the Animals - Camille Saint-Saëns. Bill Richardson, Narrator
Concerto for Two Pianos - Francis Poulenc. Marcel & Elizabeth Bergmann, Pianos
Bolero - Maurice Ravel. With players from the Okanagan Youth Symphony & Night Owl Orchestra.

Season opening concerts in all three cities are generously supported by Dr. Duncan & Monica Innes

Silk scarves and strong coffee, suave sophistication, eccentric characters, and a love of throbbing Spanish rhythms--it's French music with a twist. The OSO welcomes guest narrator and humorist Bill Richardson for Saint-Saens' funny and quirky tour of the orchestra. Double the pianos with the Bergmann Duo add up to more than double the fun in Poulenc's witty concerto. Bolero - Ravel's celebration of the Spanish dance irresistibly builds to a stunning climax. Sheer virtuosity in Gallic style with the Okanagan Symphony and the Night Owl Orchestra! Guest Artists: Elizabeth & Marcel Bergmann, Pianos. Bill Richardson, Narrator.

Kelowna Community Theatre, Friday, Oct. 24, 8pm; Penticton's Cleland Theatre, Saturday, Oct. 25, 7:30pm; Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Sunday, Oct. 26, 7pm.

Open Dress rehearsal 2 - 4:30pm, Friday Oct 24, Kelowna Community Theatre. Admission free.
