Oakville Symphony Orchestra

Founded in 1967 by Kenneth Hollier, the original twelve-member orchestra has now grown into a seventy-five member orchestra under the leadership of conductor and musical director, Roberto De Clara. Dedicated to bringing audiences a variety of music while contributing to the musical growth of its members and the cultural growth of the community, the Oakville Symphony Orchestra's eleven concerts entertain over 5,000 patrons per year. Each season talented Canadian guest artists perform with the orchestra's 65 amateur musicians and 10 professionals who lead and instruct various sections. The OSO also supports the Young Artists Program by providing playing scholarships for young musicians each season.

OPENING GRANDEUR - November 3&4, 2007
The grand opening of the OSO's 40th season includes three outstanding masterpieces: the hauntingly beautiful Hebrides Overture of Mendelssohn, Beethoven's delightful and melodic Symphony #8 and the majestic Piano Concerto #2 of Johannes Brahms. Distinguished Canadian pianist Peter Longworth is the special guest artist in a program that triumphantly opens a spectacular season in the history of the Oakville Symphony Orchestra.

MEDITERRANEO February 2 & 3,2008
The sounds of the Mediterranean will transport you and bring musical warmth to the month of February. In this romantic program of music from France, Italy and Spain, the OSO will feature the Warren Nicholson Guitar Quartet of Oakville. The program will include Rodrigo's Concierto Andaluz for Four Guitars and Orchestra and the ever popular Capriccio Espagnole of Rimsky Korsakov.

ROMANTIC DRAMA April 19 & 20, 2008
The towering genius of Dvorak and Tchaikovsky will be featured in this program devoted to romantic classics. Outstanding Romanian violinist Irina Muresanu will be the soloist in Dvorak's melodic and passionate Violin Concerto. The concert concludes with the haunting beauty of the Symphony #6 (Pathetique), a work premiered a mere week before the composers untimely death at age 53. Two epic works- a concert not to be missed.

GALA SEASON FINALE May 10 & 11, 2008
Two outstanding guest artists and the OSO, combine to bring you a superb conclusion to our 40th anniversary season. Oakville cellist Adrian Fung, returns home from his current base in San Francisco to perform Saint- Saens Cello Concerto #1. Thrilling Italian soprano Giovanna Carini then joins the OSO in vocal highlights from the world's most beloved operas. A rousing finale to this historic season.
