The 2025/2026 BTN Music Academy promo video

With nearly 350 attendees and close to 100 performers lighting up the stage, this event was nothing short of unforgettable. As the director of this Academy, I can confidently say—it was the best recital we've ever put on. And of course, none of it would have been possible without our amazing team.

On April 24th, the Metro Hub in downtown Kelowna pulsed with energy, passion, and the power of community as we hosted our very first Rock The Future fundraiser.
