The Penticton Kiwanis Music Festival concludes with two final concerts at the Cleland Theatre, Music Highlights on May 2 and Dance Highlights on May 3. Tickets are $8 and are available at the Cleland Theatre Lobby and at the door.
The most promising young performers of the Penticton Kiwanis Festival are chosen to continue on to the Performing Arts B.C. Provincial Festival, hosted this year in Penticton, from June 3 to 7. Approximately 450 of B.C.'s most promising students of music, dance and speech arts will be recommended by adjudicators to take part in competitions, master classes and workshops. Competitive sessions will take place from June 4 to 7.
Winners from the provincial festival will be featured in four concerts. The public is invited to attend both the competitions and the concerts from June 3 to 7 in venues across Penticton.
A sneak preview of the provincial festival will be presented by the Penticton Community Concerts in partnership with Performing Arts B.C. Provincial Festival. The local appreciation concert will be held May 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cleland Theatre. This concert will feature local provincial festival competitors Jonathan Stuchbery, classical guitar, and Saige Carlson, classical voice, along with dancers who have also been selected to compete.
