The sensitive subject of suicide is taking the stage with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra this weekend.

The OSO91裸聊视频檚 season opening show includes a piece written about the viral video that Amanda Todd made just before she died from suicide.

Called My Name is Amanda Todd, the piece won the Juno award for best composition in 2018. Todd91裸聊视频檚 persecutor was just sentenced in B.C. last week to 13 years in prison.

The opening piece is just one highlight of the show, titled Mind Games, with renowned Canadian pianist Angela Cheng. The performance takes place in Kelowna Friday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m., Penticton Saturday, Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. and in Vernon Sunday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.

Cheng is a celebrated musician who gives a historical nod to a woman musical prodigy from an era when women rarely were allowed to make their mark in the public eye. Herself an acclaimed pianist and highly regarded composer in the 19th century, the Piano Concerto in A Minor is Clara Schumann91裸聊视频檚 sole surviving work involving an orchestra. Symphony No. 4 in D Minor, Op. 120 by Clara91裸聊视频檚 beloved husband, Robert, rounds off this opening night program.

Mind Games is the first in a season full of first-time appearances by several distinguished artists and the return of a number of audience favourites.
