As the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra approaches our 100th anniversary, we are embracing change and redefining our role in the Saskatoon music community.
Recently, CEO Mark Turner had the opportunity to be interviewed about our 100th year by SaskCulture. You can read the full article here.
As stated in the original article, our 10-year strategic plan, Opus 100, is all about preparing and adapting to a changing cultural landscape. As part of our effort, the SSO is reimagining what it means to be an orchestra and redefining our role as a catalyst for music appreciation in the community, with the goal of building long-term sustainability.
“The change in … attracting people in different ways came when we stopped thinking about our concerts as purely the musical experiences we had before.”
– CEO Mark Turner
Hear Mark Turner speak on the SSO’s strategic plan for the years leading up to the big 100 as well as the importance that live music brings to a community like our own:
We are able to do what we do thanks to the support of those who have involved themselves with the SSO. It is because of the support from our community that we are able to bring these amazing musical experiences to the prairies.
We are so proud of what we have built together. Staff, volunteers, musicians, and YOU, our supporters, have built the success that is the envy of many Canadian orchestras.
Leading up to our 100th year, we need your support more than ever. Please share in the joy, hope, and community of supporting your orchestra as we approach this exciting era.
