Festival of Arts organizing Kamloops concert tour

Classical concert tour being organized for Kamloops

100 Mile Festival of the Arts is organizing a classical concert tour to Kamloops, so people can enjoy a symphony concert at a discount price.

The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra plays at the Sagebrush Theatre in Kamloops on Sept. 29, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor” and Schubert’s Symphony No. 4 “Tragic” will be on the program.

Festival of the Arts successfully put together a similar tour last year and concert organizer Anthony Lau would like to see it happen again.

“Listening to a live performance of a symphony is a memorable and thrilling experience, especially for young music students.”

At the age of 14, Lau adds, he was moved to tears when he heard a full orchestra perform.

Those who are interested in attending the concert can contact Lau via e-mail at anthonylau85@hotmail.com.
