The Kootenay Festival of the Arts held the music Highlights Concert on April 22 at the First Presbyterian Church in Trail.
As well, the recipients of the Ian Douglas Smith Memorial Award were also honoured.
Administered by the Osprey Community Foundation, the Ian Douglas Smith Memorial Award provides an annual award at the Kootenay Festival of the Arts.
This award is made solely on the recommendation of the adjudicator and this year it was divided amongst two families; the Clarke family, including James Clarke, Katie Clarke and Charles Clarke and the Saether Pigott Family – Lukas Saether Pigott, Cynthia Saether Pigott and Elias Saether Pigott.
The fund is managed through the Osprey Community Foundation and is dispursed through the Nelson Music Festival Association.
