OVOC - Okanogan Valley Orchestra & Chorus

The Okanogan Valley is located in Washington state in the USA. Our concerts take place in the Omak Performing Arts Center at the Omak High School. A stunning 500 seat theater, fully equipped to support theatrical performances and more. 

The orchestra formed in 1978 as a community outreach program connected to Wenatchee Valley College-North and concerts were held in the Okanogan High School gymnasium.  In 1981 the group began producing Gilbert and Sullivan musicals as well as approximately four concerts each year, moving their venue to the Omak Cinema. The orchestra and college connection ceased when the college music teacher moved away in 1982.  In 1984 the Chorus was formed and the two groups were combined under a Board of Directors, adopting the current name of the Okanogan Valley Orchestra and Chorus (OVOC). When the Omak Performing Arts Center opened in 1990, OVOC moved its season of performances to that venue.
