Schmaltz & Pepper
2:00 p.m., Saturday, September 12, 2026

It’s a mouthwatering recipe: Mix together five powerhouse Canadian musicians. Add multi-instrumental virtuosity. Fold in generous dollops of creativity, energy, and unbridled joy. Garnish with JUNO and Grammy tributes. The result is Schmaltz & Pepper, a sizzling and satisfying new chamber ensemble that blends Klezmer, modern jazz, Roma, Tango, classical and European folk music into pure musical magic. Bon appétit!

Lifelong buddies Nico Rhodes and Patrick Courtin grew up travelling the world, steeped in music and theatre. One day they were shocked to learn that the piano has fallen from favour! They ride to the rescue with Piano Heist: Keys are the Champions!, an enchanting new tapestry of classical masterpieces, vibrant boogie-woogie, romantic ballads, and epic ’80s-style synth battles, woven together with humour and audience engagement.

Just before Remembrance Day we bring back The Fugitives, an extraordinarily talented Canadian folk ensemble, to perform 'Ridge', their moving tribute to the 10,000 young men and boys whose lives were lost or forever changed at the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Deeply-researched and widely-acclaimed, 'Ridge' blends complex harmonies and top-tier musicianship with storytelling based on firsthand accounts, including the young soldiers’ poignant letters home.

ABOUT us
With a loyal following for more than 70 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.
​
The KCCA receives no outside funding and does not solicit sponsors. Pre-selling affordable season passes ensures that we have the stable budget needed to assemble our ambitious programs.
In keeping with our mission to foster the appreciation and teaching of music in the Central Okanagan, we also donate up to $1,000 each year to support local music students, and invite them to perform before our concerts.
