Our first concert is scheduled for 7:00 pm on Saturday, May 7, 2022 at the Kamloops Full Gospel Tabernacle and we would love to see you there!
Our orchestra is fully staffed for this concert but we are always glad to meet new players so if you would like to play with us, please get in touch.
We're always happy to include non-player volunteers who love music and would like to meet everyone in the orchestra. Currently we are looking to fill the following volunteer positions:
• concert setup crew
The Thompson Valley Orchestra was founded in 1997 by Music Director Norris Berg and a small group of 12 string players. Now, more than two decades later, the TVO has grown to more than 50 musicians with all instrument sections well represented. Our musicians range from high school students to seniors, some of whom have played for decades. Together, the orchestra members practice and rehearse with a common goal of creating high quality musical programming to share with the community.
The orchestra’s repertoire includes a variety of musical styles from classics to musical theatre and pops. The TVO presents three concerts a year in Kamloops and also performs outreach concerts at local seniors’ care homes. We enjoy working with guest musicians, particularly local schools, choirs, and small ensembles. Concerts and weekly rehearsals are held at Kamloops Full Gospel Tabernacle.
We hope you will join us at our next concert!
