This year the staff at KOI have been working hard to bring you an exceptional experience and at the same time we're looking to help out within our community. KOI is proud to present The Flash Mob Concert Series!
What the heck is this? Well, a flash mob is a large group of people who converge on a spot with little forewarning, perform some action and disperse quickly. The term ‘flash mob’ is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. So for KOI artists will perform short intimate sets on street corners for FREE! Performers will ask for donations which will be given to R.O.O.F. (Reaching Our Outdoor Friends). These performances will not be announced until 30 minutes prior. Each performance will only last a couple songs. The Flash Mob Concert Series will operate all throughout the downtown core in various locations. These Flash Mob’s will give you the chance to catch your favourite artists playing solo acoustic sets while helping underprivileged teens from within the community. This isn't the only new component we will be adding... check back for more updates in the coming weeks.
