The North Okanagan Community Concert Association (NOCCA) has made significant changes to its concert presentations in hopes of filling more seats.
NOCCA will present concerts as a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. for its next three performances, Feb. 23, March 30, and May 4.
鈥淐OVID took a toll on all the performing arts and our audience has struggled to return to its former subscription base," said NOCCA president Paul Maynes. "We鈥檙e hoping that the matinee timing will appeal to younger families as well as seniors and make our music more accessible to the community."
The February concert features a tribute to Canadian swing jazz icon Oscar Peterson, as presented by the Remi Bolduc Jazz Ensemble from Montreal. There will also be a guest appearance by local chanteuse, Judy Rose, who will be performing some of her Ella Fitzgerald renditions with the Ensemble.
Opening for the February concert will be young guitarist, Jeremy Fehlauer, student of Ken Scott at the Vernon Community Music School.
Tickets for all NOCCA events are available through Ticketseller at 250-549-7469 or at www.ticketseller.ca.
