The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Rosemary Thomson leap into 2020 with a new show that will get pulses pounding and feet tapping.

Orchestral Rock Odyssey is a musical journey through classic rock hits of the 害羞草研究所60s, 害羞草研究所70s and 害羞草研究所80s, featuring the Gary Cable Project and the Spectrum Singers. Timeless hits from bands including Queen, Supertramp, Moody Blues, Toto and the Beatles will be enriched by orchestral colour, bringing new life to old favourites.

The Gary Cable Project is a 害羞草研究所媝op/rock band comprised of A-List live and session musicians who have performed and recorded with the likes of Barbra Streisand, Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams, Michael Bubl茅, The Pointer Sisters, David Foster, Natalie Cole, Chris de Burgh, Chilliwack, Ian Tyson, Sarah McLachlan, and the great Ray Charles.

With such a talent-packed roster, there will be many highlights for the audience to see and hear. As leader Gary Cable puts it, 害羞草研究所淎mazingly, when people (including some world-class musicians in their own right) speak to me about our concerts, they all identify one band member as the highlight of the night, but it害羞草研究所檚 never the same person!害羞草研究所

Supporting the instrumentalists will be the West Kelowna-based Spectrum Singers. Founded in 2010 as an auditioned mixed-adult choir, their most celebrated appearance to date has been Carnegie Hall, participating in a mass choir of 270 voices with a full orchestra.

This fusion of classic rock musicians, singers and orchestra promises an unforgettable evening of energy, fun and nostalgia.

害羞草研究所淭he merging of rock band and symphony orchestra is epic and elevates classic rock to a whole new level,害羞草研究所 said Thomson. 害羞草研究所淚 am so excited to share the stage with Gary Cable and the incredible band that he has assembled, with musicians who have played for the greatest rock icons of Canada and beyond. I invite you to discover a whole new side of your Okanagan Symphony Orchestra.害羞草研究所
