Dust off your instruments, we are doing it again! The annual SYO Alumni and Friends Summer Orchestra Concert goes Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024.
We are putting on another SYO Alumni & Friends Summer Orchestra concert which will serve as a fundraiser for the SYO Player Bursary Fund and our community youth music partner.
In 2022, we shared concert proceeds with the Bishop Filevich Ukrainian Bilingual School to help the band program deal with the influx of Ukrainian newcomers. The next year (2023) we supported needy families who wanted to take part in the band program at École Alvin Buckwold School.
This year, we are partnering with the Heart of the City Piano Program — an inner city piano project that strives to enhance the lives and learning opportunities of at-risk youth through a structured music program that continues throughout the school year.
We are inviting alumni members of the SYO and Saskatoon Strings, any of our teachers, tutors, friends and supporters, as well as current and incoming players to take part. All are welcome!
There will be three full orchestra rehearsals and then a concert under the direction of SYO Music Director Richard Carnegie.
Who can participate? Everyone!
- Former players of the SYO or Saskatoon Strings!
- Friends of the SYO Inc. who play orchestral instruments!
- Music/band teachers and private tutors!
- Current players who want to play over the summer!
- Brand new SYO players set to start in 2024-25!
Players: No cost to participate. Non-SYO alumni, supporters most welcome!
