SOTK is proud to showcase our exceptional local talent! We also bring you a concert in honour of the festive season with a unique twist. Favourite carols and holiday songs will be brought to new life with vocals, cello and ukulele by James Hill and Anne Janelle, alongside our symphony musicians. James and Anne are award wining musicians who have performed across Canada and internationally. 

In short, a night out with James Hill & Anne Janelle is “the perfect evening of tunes, stories and musical virtuosity. 

(Wellington Dominion-Post). 

We are excited to welcome the East Coast duo James Hill and Anne Janelle for their celtic-infused program of Christmas favourites. Opening with Anne's stirring re-imagining of "Joy to the World" and closing with James' intimate re-interpretation of "Silent Night," their music traces a long arc through orchestral, traditional and contemporary sound worlds. The Midnight Clear crackles with quiet intensity, rich musical textures and scintillating vocal harmonies.James plays the ukulele and Anne plays cello. A unique combination backed by your Symphony of the Kootenays.  

SOTK also welcomes the Student Concerto with Grace Vandermolen, Dallevin Lapaire, and Jonathan Talbot playing Mozart.  We encourage you to get your tickets early as our Christmas concerts always sellout

About the Show


Las Vegas Headliner Jay White is one of the world’s most convincing recreations of Neil Diamond.

Jay White has been paying homage to Neil Diamond for over 25 years. Jay’s every movement, sound and expression are tributes to the passion and power of the real Diamond, giving new luster to the life of the man and his music. From the moment he hits the stage with Diamond favorite “Cherry, Cherry” to the fabulous flag waving finale “Coming To America” Jay fires the audience with the intensity of his first class illusion.

In 1996 and again in 2002 White met Diamond before his Vegas MGM appearances, where Neil told Jay to; “keep up the good work” and autographed a photo of the two signing; “Jay, keep singing, so I can stay home and relax, your friend in music”.

Jay energizes stages with a touch of class and a dash of Rock-n-Roll, continuing the musical legacy of Neil Diamond in five countries and more than 9000 unforgettable shows.

If you are Neil Diamond fan this show is for you!

About the Show:

Juno awarding winning quartet joins Symphony of the Kootenays for wonderful evening of music 

A unique evening that will bring together our symphony players and the Juno-Award winning The Fretless. A super-group of celebrated solo artists, The Fretless has been creating a singular and signature sound that dares to expand the idea of what a string music quartet can be — transforming fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements that have quickly gained a dedicated following and accolades from around the world. Within what appears to be a simple and classical construct — two fiddles, a viola, and a cello — The Fretless has created a sound that is distinctly rich, multi-layered, and uniquely percussive. This tonal quality is pushing traditional music to new heights, producing a completely fresh approach to Folk music

Rachel Casponi, Soprano 

Johannes Brahms - Piano Concerto #1 

Amy Zanrosso, Piano 

We celebrate Women in Music with compositions and performances by women. Brahms’s mountain of a piano concerto was caught up in his relationship with Clara and Robert Schumann. Clara was one of the great pianists of her time, and she performed this piece along with many others during her career. Amy Zanrosso, one of our favourite and regular soloists, returns to the Kootenays to perform Brahms’ masterwork. We welcome Kamloops soprano Rachel Casponi to sing Barber’s evocative Knoxville, depicting life in the city’s soft summer. Jennifer Higdon’s Dance Card is an exuberant work which expresses her appreciation for the work required by string players to create beautiful performances. We honour the life of BC composer Jocelyn Morlock with her ode to the natural world.

 G. Ridout - Fall Fair 

W.A. Mozart - Sinfonia Concertante 

Natasha Hall ,Violin, Martine Denbok, Viola 

A. Dvořák - Symphony No. 9, From the New World 

Antonín Dvořák wrote his Ninth Symphony while living in New York. He was inspired to write a work which incorporated ideas from his temporary home into his personal style. The result, with its evocative melodies and lush orchestration, has been a favourite from its first Carnegie Hall performance. Mozart was a fine violinist and loved the viola. He married these together in a wonderful Sinfonia that laid bare his ambition to leave Salzburg behind and conquer the imperial city of Vienna. Godfrey Ridout’s friendly personality and eclectic skill lead him to be an important figure in the Toronto music scene for several decades. His Fall Fair is an optimistic burst of champagne to start the evening and our season!

Sponsored by: Stellar Vista Credit Union


About the Show:

The true story of Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton (Sir Anthony Hopkins), a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, it's 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn't able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It's not until a live BBC television show, 'That's Life', surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children - now adults - that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

About the Show:

ROSE is the story of two sisters, Inger and Ellen, and how their relationship is challenged on a highly anticipated coach trip to Paris. When Inger announces her struggles with mental health to the group, the sisters are faced with pity from some and discrimination from others. On arrival in Paris, it soon becomes clear that Inger has a hidden agenda concerning a figure from her past, ultimately involving the entire group in her hunt for answers. ROSE is a film about love and care for each other, in spite of our differences, as much as it is a film about not judging a book by its cover.

About the show:

Radium’s iconic Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep herd is in danger! But you can help! 


Bighorn Comedy is partnering with Wildsight to raise money for Bighorn Sheep conservation. From April 21-23, some top comics will be touring the East Kootenay raising awareness and funds to help save the Bighorns.

Cranbrook’s own Sarah Stupar makes her return to the Key City stage, hosting this dynamite comedy show featuring an all star line-up:

Jarrett Campbell is a small town Canadian boy, on his way to the top. He’s so small town that he's actually from a county with no real towns at all.  Jarrett was nominated as the 2019 Breakout Artist of the Year at the Canadian Comedy Awards and his work has been featured on MTV, CTV, Comedy Network and CBC. He appeared on Roast Battle Canada and Just for Laughs in Montreal. Jarrett has been nominated for Best Writing in a Comedy Series, and Comedy Album of the Year at the 2020 Junos. A good Canadian boy, he’s also spent a few nights passed out in a field.

 Brittany Lyseng is a nationally touring Stand-Up Comedian, Writer and Podcaster. Her comedy career began after 12 years as a tradesman, when she developed the desire to lift less and laugh more. You may have seen her on TV (CTV’s Roast Battles Canada), heard her on the radio (CBC’s The Debaters), but you can also probably catch this Alberta girl down at the Legion, having a beer. Her 2019 album debuted at #1 on iTunes and was followed with appearances at Just For Laughs. Most recently she was featured in Reader’s Digest magazine and was graced with a 2022 Canadian Screen Awards nomination.

As for Sarah, she was born and raised in Cranbrook, but has lived in Vancouver, Montreal and now Calgary, and she has been doing stand up since 2012. While living in Cranbrook from 2019-2021, Sarah worked as a flag person on the traffic circle in Radium, where she became obsessed with Bighorn Sheep. She decided to combine her love of stand up with her love of Bighorn Sheep in efforts to raise money for conservation efforts, and is so excited to bring this show to the East Kootenay.
