September 24th – Orchestration – Sense of Adventure

To kick off the new season, we’re thrilled to be joined by two of the season’s artistic partners – violist Ryan Davis returns home to make his SSO solo debut in one of the most beautiful pieces of the season, while Maestra Judith Yan leads us on an orchestral soundscape fit for a cinematic epic in Ruth Gipps’ Symphony No 2. Your SSO performs a world debut of a new commission by renowned composer Christos Hatzis – Up to Her Waist in Lupins is a memorial tribute to the SSO’s Randi Nelson.

 

October 29th – Halloween Bash!

It’s about to get spooky…
Maestro Armand Birk makes his SSO debut with a concert full of ghoulish treats. We’ve been dying to do a full Halloween concert for a long time so we’re pulling out all the stops: Night on Bald Mountain, Berlioz’s Witches Sabbath, Danse Macabre, the Monster Mash, and so much more!

 

November 19th – Bolero

What could be better than to spend a November night with exotic aromas and the intoxicating beauty of the gardens of Spain? That’s just what we have in store when pianist Angela Cheng returns to the SSO stage for de Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain. Maestra Judith Yan leads the SSO in the North America premiere of Fernando Velazquez’s Viento del Oeste, and caps the night off with Ravel’s passionate and sensuous Bolero!

 

December release – Handel’s Messiah

Fill your hearts with the joyous musical tradition of Handel’s Messiah throughout the holiday season. We’re releasing the concert film just in time for the holidays so that you can rejoice greatly from the comfort (ye) of home!

 

February 11th – The Idea of North – only available to SSO Streaming Subscribers

A night for the history books. Pianist Jan Lisiecki returns to the SSO to give an earth-shattering performance of Grieg’s powerhouse Piano Concerto in A minor. Maestro Rune Bergmann joins the SSO for the first time for this night of music from the north, culminating in Sibelius’ glorious Symphony No 1.

 

February 25th – Nordic Light

After his sensational debut with the SSO, Maestro Nicolas Ellis returns to lead the SSO, Aurora Voce, and Greystone Singers in Erik Essenvalds’ Nordic Light – this symphony for orchestra, chorus, and soundscape is paired with breath-taking visuals of the arctic circle and northern lights.

April 2nd – Farm Fresh

Judith Yan and Ryan Davis team up one more time…and it’s literally in a barn! We’re off to the Barn Playhouse to showcase the musicians of the SSO in Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Suite and Wagner’s bucolic Siegfried Idyll. Ryan Davis creates a new work for this concert experience.

 

April 15th – Vibrant Light

It’s not every day the conductor is also the composer! Dinuk Wijeratne leads his own Concerto for Tabla and Orchestra, with Shawn Mativetsky, and pairs it with the wildly colourful and explosive Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov.

 

May 6th – And Tomorrow…

…the sun shall rise again. We may have saved the most stunning concert for May. Soprano Danika Lorèn returns to perform the stunningly gorgeous Vier Lieder by Richard Strauss, featuring his beloved work Morgen. Maestro Nicolas Ellis is back on the podium for this performance that culminates in Stravinsky’s wild and impassioned Firebird.

 

May 27th – Baroque Soul

Saskatoon’s very own Alexa Haynes-Pilon returns home to lead from the cello! With her growing reputation as a leading baroque cellist, Alexa has programmed a performance that showcases why the cello is truly the soul of the beautiful baroque.
