Event Description
The Cowichan Performing Arts Centre is proud to present Oktopus on Sunday, October 15 at 2pm as part of BC Culture Days.

Tickets must be reserved in advance by phone or in-person at the Ticket Centre as seating is limited.
The eight virtuoso musicians that form Oktopus offer a festive and frenzied show that is both deeply melancholic and studded with humour and story. Awarded numerous awards (JUNO, CFMA…), Oktopus is a major presence on the Canadian world music scene, with over 250 performances to its credit at home and abroad. The group is primarily devoted to klezmer distinguished by a novel approach that incorporates various components of the classical and Quebecois repertoire, with some jazz and Balkan accents.
