All seats will become General Admission for this concert year only.

Thank you to Michael Hope for completing his pledge at his OSO Andrew Lloyd Webber concerts to contribute a small portion of his CD sales to the Canadian Red Cross earthquake relief effort in Haiti. Michael tells us that he was able to send a $112 cheque to the Red Cross representing the 112 CD sales from the Vernon and Kelowna concerts. Great to hear, Michael!
