With a loyal following for more than 50 years, the non-profit Kelowna Community Concert Association presents five first-class concerts a year, generally between fall and spring. Only professional artists of international and national calibre and acclaim are selected to present a variety of music, theatre and dance with wide audience appeal.
The KCCA is run entirely by volunteers, who select the performers, manage memberships, handle communications and publicity, and organize every last detail of the concerts. We’re extremely grateful to our volunteers, who enable us to present these professional concerts at such a reasonable price.
