The Okanogan Valley Orchestra and Chorus will upload its free virtual Family Concert to its YouTube site at 3 p.m. Saturday.
The third part of the virtual Music is Vital series, the program includes performances of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” by Randy Newman from “Toy Story,” and “Lava,” by Roger Emerson from the movie “Lava,” performed by the chorus. Sarah Walker will accompany the chorus on ukulele for the second song.
The orchestra will perform “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz,” and “Themes from the Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” in “Fantasia.”
The OVOC Jazz Band will perform “Beyond the Sea,” by Charles Trenet, arranged by Roger Holmes.
“The OVOC orchestra is able to present these concerts virtually through the joint efforts of orchestra director Matt Brown and chorus director Derek Pulsifer’s many hours of not only directing the groups but also creating the final performance,” according to a news release from the OVOC. “They do this by combining each performer’s submitted performance after hours of rehearsals with the OVOC members. The Family Concert will continue this new tradition to be followed by the Spring Concert in April.”
