Oceanside Classical Concerts Society is registered as a charity by the Canada Revenue Agency.

CONCERTS AND WORKSHOPS

We believe that classical music is an essential element in the cultural life of the Oceanside area. Oceanside Classical Concerts Society is committed to changing lives through music’s extraordinary power to communicate, inspire, uplift and entertain.

We celebrate artistic excellence in classical music through live performance of the world’s great masterpieces by nationally and internationally acclaimed musicians, and promotion of Canadian artists.

Through our guest performers we offer an annual workshop where local music students are able to interact with, learn from and practice with these professional musicians. This is a unique and inspirational opportunity for the students.

Your donation to the General Fund will support concert operations and music workshops for students.

THE OCCS SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Our Society is dedicated to fostering the future of all forms of music by supporting local aspiring musicians. Our fundraising focus is on building the OCCS Scholarship Fund and achieving the second goal in our society Constitution – “… advance education by providing scholarships based on academic achievement to high school graduates and students enrolled in post-secondary music programs and seeking a music-related career.” Studies in all genre of music qualify for scholarship support.

OCCS awards one or more scholarships each year based on academic achievement and an adjudicated competition.

Your donation to the Scholarship Fund will ensure the continuing financial support for local aspiring musicians. We invite you to join us in this exciting initiative.
