About the program:
The Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) has been igniting a passion for music and the arts in young people since 1978! Every July, aspiring musicians come together for a dynamic three-week program led by experienced music educators and industry professionals, with enthusiastic support from university students who share a love for music.
At KISSM, young musicians gain the “key” to artistic excellence. Through expert mentorship, they refine their skills, explore new musical styles, and develop confidence in performing and creating music. Beyond the classroom, they connect with like-minded peers, discover new opportunities, and build a foundation for lifelong artistic growth.

The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk.
