In this episode of of Kelowna, I sit down with Rosemary Thomson, Artistic Director of Opera Kelowna, to talk about the journey that shaped her life in music. From growing up in St. Catharines, Ontario, as one of seven kids in a home filled with singing, instruments, and chaos, to discovering the power of music through family, teaching, and conducting, Rosemary shares a thoughtful and inspiring look at how passion becomes a life’s work. We talk childhood, nature, music, community, and the path that eventually brought her west to Kelowna.
