The event will be held at Cascade High School. Bring the whole family to this wonderful evening.
If you are unfamiliar with the Cascade Choir Crescendo Campaign, in Spring 2024 school districts throughout the nation struggled with their budgets. In the Cascade School District, our Choir program was one of the cuts that needed to be made. The Cascade PTSA, the Performing Arts Boosters, the Superintendent, School board and the choir students didn’t want to see the program cut. We worked with together to determine the amount of funds needed to retain the program until the school Levy can pass. The Cascade Choir Crescendo Campaign was born out of this collaboration. We have $15,000 left to raise out of the $65,000 needed to fully fund the choir program for the 2024-25 school year and $65,000 to raise to fund the 2025-26 school year. Your support is deeply appreciated! We are grateful to Leavenworth Village Voices and to you for supporting the Cascade students and helping to retain our choir program. All donations above tickets sales are tax deductible.

Old Time Radio Show: Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Carol
2024-12-17 19:30 - 20:00 | Numerica PAC, 123 N Wenatchee Ave, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
See it LIVE or listen to it on KPQ on December 17 & rebroadcast on December 24
Directed by Dani Schafer-Cloke and Foley Director James Wallace
In this ingenious meeting of two Victorian classics, Dr. Watson visits his old friend Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Eve, finding him in a dark and misanthropic mood, planning to retire from the dull work of solving crimes. But soon, Holmes is visited by the ghost of his great enemy Professor Moriarity, who warns Holmes that he is heading towards his own damnation and tells him of an upcoming visit by three spirits. During the visits that follow, we learn about Holmes’ childhood and his lost love, the chaos that his early retirement has caused his friends and associates throughout London, and finally a terrifying future: Holmes sees himself, a cold creature of pure intellect, supplying weapons to the battlefields of the First World War. Waking on Christmas morning, the repentant Holmes makes amends with his friends and rededicates himself to his higher purpose.
What is an Old Time Radio Show?
Before TV took over, radio was one of the world’s main sources of entertainment. Apart from news, commercials, and music, it also broadcasts shows: dramas, mysteries, comedies, and more. Families in the 1920s through to the 1960s gathered around to listen to what we now call old-time radio shows. Stories were brought to life live on the radio with voice actors and foley artists.
NOTE: Attendees must be 5+ years old to attend
The curtain speech will begin at 7:20 with no late seating after 7:30

On Christmas Eve, 1914, in the first year of WWI, a daring German soldier stood up with a small Christmas tree above his head and began singing “O Tannenbaum” (“Oh, Christmas Tree”). That night, somewhere between 10 and 100 thousand soldiers climbed out of their trenches, greeted their enemy with shared rations and helmets, played soccer, and sang Christmas songs in a strong demonstration of peace. “All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914” is a truly powerful, poignant, emotional, and inspirational piece of theater celebrating an actual event with the songs and actual words of the men who lived it.

But paradise becomes a nightmare when, just a few hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, enemy bombers target their island. Now Helen, Sally, and the rest of the nurses must do everything they can to keep themselves and their charges alive as they navigate nursing through a war zone in Manilla, a tropical jungle in Bataan, and eventually as prisoners of war in the Santo Tomas Internment Camp. Through it all, the women’s spirits remain high and they rely on the ingenuity, camaraderie and strength that eventually earns the the name the Angels of Bataan.”

OVOC Concert Season 2024-2025
2024-12-14 14:00 - 16:30 | Omak PAC, 14 S Cedar, Omak, WA, 98841, United States
Stories come in all forms. We tell stories to entertain, to communicate, to educate, to rupture boundaries, and so much more. Through stories, we may define ourselves, weaving hero’s journeys out of lives once lived or lives we dream to lead. Our stories can be rooted in childhood, shaped by archetypes, and steeped in societal expectations. Perhaps they are a reflection of the generations that came before us, a continuation of the narrative that shapes who we are—if we choose to embrace it. Or maybe, your story has always been wild and free, untamed by convention, waiting for its moment to be told.
As we journey through life, we are both the storytellers and the stars of our narratives. Each choice we make and each path we take adds a vibrant new thread to our existence. So, where do we find ourselves in this beautiful web of tales? Are we the heroes, the guides, the adventurers, or perhaps the dreamers? What story are we living, and more importantly, what story do we aspire to tell?
In this season of Stories, we invite you to explore these questions with us. Let’s celebrate the narratives that have shaped us, consider the stories we’ve been told, and thoughtfully craft new tales that reflect the joy, growth, and potential within us all. Whether through music, theater, or the written word, let’s share our stories, embrace our roles with purpose, and create a season that’s not just about telling these tales, but about living them with creativity and intention.
Conductor’s Notes
“It is with great anticipation that we look forward to the OVOC 2024-25 season: “Stories.” This season, we will be exploring music that tells a story. Whether it is thematic storytelling, operatic, or a story actually being narrated, this season is certain to delight! Throughout the year, you can plan on hearing the Orchestra play such favorites as Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, and How to Train Your Dragon. The Chorus will be singing Shenandoah, Hymn to Red October, and music combining voices with brass instruments in Cantique de Jean Racine. For the season finale, you can look forward to hearing music from Carl Orff’s musical setting to Medieval poems, Carmina Burana, which will combine the forces of the orchestra and chorus. We are looking forward to another exciting and inspiring year of music-making and hope you and your friends will join us. Thank you for supporting the magic of community music!” Mathew Brown and Derek Pulsifer
