The second half of the 89th Penticton Kiwanis Music Festival completed this week, and the competition is headed for its final stage, the highlight concerts, which are coming up on April 24 and 25.

Competition at the festival has been spread over two months, with music and vocal performances being evaluated in March, while April saw classical and stage dance performances, along with musical theatre and speech arts.

The festival is the culmination of months of preparation by students and provides an opportunity for these young artists to perform their achievements,  and receive a constructive and positive evaluation.

By the conclusion of this year’s festival, music, dance and speech arts adjudicators saw 1,350 entries from Penticton and area, Summerland, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops, Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos and Cawston.

The finest selections from piano, strings, classical voice, choral, dance, musical theatre and speech arts will be chosen to perform in the dance and music highlights concerts, while the most promising young performers are chosen by the adjudicators to continue on to the Performing Arts B.C. Provincial Festival, which is being hosted in Powell River this May.

Organizers have made changes to the scheduled dates for the highlights concerts.

The dance highlights concert will now  take place on April 24 at 7 p.m., and the music highlights concert on April 25 at 6:30 p.m. Cleland Theatre is the venue for both concerts.

Tickets are available at the Penticton Arts Council office (Leir House) and at the door, $10 per person, $25 for a family of four. Tickets purchased for the original dates can be exchanged at the door on the evening of the desired concert.
