Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra

This year the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra is celebrating it's 60th Anniversary season, as they continue to make memorable music for all Manitobans. During the past 60 years the collaboration of gifted musicians, volunteers, administrators, patrons, and public support has created an excellent orchestra that has crafted 60 enjoyable, relevant and meaningful programs.

WSO Women's Committee

The Women's Committee recognizes the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra to be a major contributor to Winnipeg's rich cultural heritage. For as long as the WSO has been playing to audiences, the Women's Committee have been dedicated ambassadors and supporters. An initial focus was music education and the committee introduced the WSO concerts for school children, now an extensive, continuing community outreach program. The Women's Committee continues to promote awareness of the WSO in the community through organizing numerous social events and fundraising projects. Members believe the WSO to be critical to the life of our musical community and pledge their continued support for the symphony they love.

On Wednesday September 26th at 8:00pm in the Restaurant, Don Anderson launches his tribute to the 60th Anniversary of the WSO, with his book, Tuning the Forks: A Celebration of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
