The Aspire Gala
The Central Okanagan Performing Arts Festival warmly invites you to ASPIRE: Gala & Reception.
A vibrant evening, recognizing the exceptional talents of our region’s top performing artists.
The Central Okanagan Performing Arts Festival (COPAF), formerly known as the Kiwanis Festival Kelowna, has relaunched with fresh support from the Rotary Clubs of Central Okanagan. This revitalized festival, a cornerstone for nurturing young talent across multiple disciplines in the Okanagan, culminates on April 19th. The season’s highlights include the Aspire Gala on May 10th, hosted by Loyal Wooldridge. At this prestigious event, emerging stars will share the stage with established artists like local Kelowna pianist Graham Vink and world renowned violinist Sophie Armstrong, HYPE Dance and the Okanagan Festival Singers. COPAF not only showcases the region's young performers but also offers them a platform to compete and collaborate with seasoned professionals, celebrating a vibrant future for the arts.
Experience the joy of achievement with young performing artists from the festival in the first half of the show, and local professional performing artists in the second half, demonstrating what our youth can ASPIRE to become!
