The NSO enriches lives across the Region through meaningful music performance and breaks down barriers to music education in Niagara.
Our Mission
The Niagara Symphony Association enriches the quality of life for residents and visitors of the Niagara Region by providing professional quality orchestral music programs and educational activities.
A cultural treasure for seven decades, the Niagara Symphony Orchestra (NSO) is a professional orchestra of over 50 musicians providing classical and contemporary orchestral music to more than 12,000 residents of the Niagara Region annually.
For seventy years, the Niagara Symphony Orchestra has endeavored to bring outstanding music to the Niagara Region. The orchestra has grown from its founding in 1948 as the St. Catharines Civic Orchestra, developing into a fully professional symphony, committed to excellence on the concert stage and engagement in the community. Join the NSO for an extraordinary season-long celebration of superb music and a remarkable cultural heritage.
In the fall of 2010, the NSO welcomed Bradley Thachuk as the eighth Music Director. Maestro Thachuk leads the orchestra on the stages of the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre.
The NSO is also a leader in music education, offering programmes to inspire and nurture a life-long love of music in Niagara’s citizens. Summer Music Camp, the Youth Club and The Academy at Summer Music Camp give students the opportunity to explore and make music. Our Spotlight On! programme showcases student ensembles in the lobby during NSO performances.
A registered not-for-profit arts organization, the NSO receives support from individual donors, corporate sponsors and federal, provincial, regional and municipal governments, all of whom recognize the vital role the creative arts play in a developing and sustaining a thriving community.
“As curators of music in the region, it is incumbent on us to ensure that this most universal of art forms thrills, enriches and thrives in Niagara.”BRADLEY THACHUK, MUSIC DIRECTOR, NSO
