Many members of AURA will  be participating in the Okanagan Symphony Chorus, also under the direction of Rosemary Thompson and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, in the production of Haydn’s Creation. This program will be performed in Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon (April 12, 2015 7pm at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre).
