Okanagan Symphony Orchestra
- Symphonic
The OSO’s Concertmaster Rachel Kristenson and Principal Second Violin Martine den Bok join forces and face off in a program of violin duos that spans over 300 years of music and takes you around the western world. From a traditional Sonata by Jean-Marie LeClair to rustic duos by Bela Bartok, all the way through time to a jig extrapolated from a contemporary concerto by American fiddler Mark O’Connor and a charming One-Legged Waltz by the BC composer and arranger Noel Fudge.
