Review: The power of the KSO's Voilá Viola | Kamloops This Week

There is no escaping the effects.
From the opening notes of Edvard Grieg’s tribute to the baroque composer Holberg, we are amazed again at the KSO’s crisp, confident sound.
Music is confirmed as the universal language.
Following that is a recording of a conversation between conductor Dina Gilbert and guest soloist Marina Thibeault.
It’s gentle education and an important addition, as Peteris Vasks’ concerto for viola and string orchestra is comparable to an outward-bound experience — enjoyable if you know what you are in for.
We discover a young woman who is able to combine meditation and exuberance while excelling on an instrument that can tell deep, dark tales.
