After a year's hiatus, the Symphony of the Kootenays is back for its 38th season. The Symphony, under new Artistic and Music Director Jeff Faraghar, performed concerts in Nelson on Saturday night and Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. Almost 400 people turned out to hear the program featuring works by Aaron Copland, Tomaso Albinoni, Bedrich Smetana and Felix Mendelssohn. See more later this week in the Townsman.
