Karl Hirzer returns to the podium for a night worthy of glowing hearts. This celebration of the exceptional music that Canada has to offer is going to have you beaming with pride.

Renowned oboist Bede Hanley returns home to Saskatoon for his SSO debut in a new concerto by Gary Kulesha. Vibrant and exciting, this new work written just for Hanley is an exhilarating showcase for this hometown artist to make his return!

We’ve been itching to bring you the music of Sonny Ray Day Rider for a few seasons now – his work Grief Eater Firaga is a must-hear musical experience.
