Ballet Kelowna announces 2013-14 Season

Ballet Kelowna is pleased to announce that its 2013-14 season will open with The Nutcracker in Kelowna on December 6, 7 & 8, 2013, followed by a B.C. tour of a dozen communities, and will close with performances in Kelowna in April 2014.  This 19-week season allows us valuable time to continue building a sustainable future.

The new Board of Directors of the Kelowna Ballet Society are Deborah Ward, Joan Wilson, Carley Bailey, Lori Larson, Daniel Spelliscy and James Stewart, all active members of the arts community.

The directors are focusing on strategic planning, which includes, among other things, a major fund raising campaign to keep Ballet Kelowna as a vital member of Kelowna’s cultural plan.

The 2013-14 Season will honour the legacy of Ballet Kelowna’s founding Artistic Director, David LaHay, who will retire at the end of the season.  In its search for a new artistic director, Ballet Kelowna will seek to complement the exceptional work that has been created by Mr. LaHay during the past ten years.

Moving forward has been made possible by the overwhelming response of the public, the support of the membership of Ballet Kelowna, now tripled; the support of the City of Kelowna and other government agencies; the successes of the benefit gala “Dancing with Friends’ and the recent ‘Flower Power: Cool Digs & Groovy Gardens’ fundraiser, and because members of the community stepped forward with 5 year pledges to the Future Fund.

For information about the company, please see Ballet Kelowna’s website www.BalletKelowna.ca. More information will be forthcoming at the beginning of September as we launch our subscription series.
