The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra will be making its way to the Okanagan as part a B.C. Interior tour.

The Grammy and Juno award winning VSO will open the Okanagan Symphany Orchestra's 58th season.

The orchestra will perform at Kelowna Community Theatre on Sept. 29, at  7:30 p.m., Cleland Theatre in Penticton on Sept. 30, at  7:30 p.m., and the Vernon District Performing Arts Centre on Oct. 1, at 7 p.m. 
 
Maestro Bramwell Tovey will lead the VSO on the tour celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday.
 
“We are all very excited to present the VSO for our audiences throughout the Okanagan,” said OSO music director Rosemary Thomson.

“Maestro Tovey has been a huge mentor to me, and I’m thrilled that our community will get to experience his extraordinary leadership and versatility both on the podium and through his new composition, Ancestral Voices,” Thomson added. 
 
The VSO performances are the first in the Chase Wines Masterworks series presented by the OSO throughout the season. The six-part series features signature concerts and special guest artists.

Tickets to the opening night, and to the entire 2017-18 OSO season, are available at www.okanagansymphony.com.
