Your orchestra shares the joy, hope, and community of making music and it’s all thanks to you.
Your support allows us to continue to attract world-renowned guest artists, commission new music to inspire us, collaborate with exceptional conductors and homegrown talent, grow our outreach programming, and create concert experiences that are so one-of-a-kind the rest of the world asks “how is Saskatoon doing this!?”
Nearly five years ago we shared Opus 100, our vision to guide the SSO towards the upcoming 100th anniversary. We are halfway through this strategic plan, and we have a lot to be proud of.

With your help, we have had significant growth. We are investing in our musicians, investing in the organization, and connecting with even more of our community.
Music is woven into every part of our lives. Music is good for the head, heart, and soul. Music scores the soundtrack to all our important moments.
Music programs are disappearing from schools at an alarming rate, and we’re seeing fewer and fewer young musicians aspiring to the most challenging repertoire. It is harder now than ever before to choose to be a musician.
Even though we know that music plays a critically valuable role in the health and well-being of adults and seniors, they lack opportunities to make those connections. And rising costs make tickets unaffordable to so many who thirst for live music.
Modern Orchestras have the opportunity to be so much more. Music, like the world, has changed. The SSO is poised, healthy, and ready to take up the call to do more. It’s that kind of investment in our community that your donation to the SSO supports.
Your gift helps us continue our commitment to significant investment in our musicians – the kind of investment that requires long-term support to ensure they can artistically grow and thrive right here in the heart of the prairies.
Flourishing, thriving, and being able to beam with pride for our orchestra is about so much more than ticket sales and financial metrics. It’s being part of an orchestra who is doing the right things – we work everyday to make sure that when you give to the SSO, you too feel proud to be part of this exceptional momentum.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Ellen Remai, through the Frank and Ellen Remai Foundation, your donations are matched. It’s an amazing opportunity to make your gift have twice the impact!
The music isn’t nearly as good without all of us playing our part. With the SSO taking up the call to ensure a robust musical future, it is a remarkable opportunity for us all to make music together.
