Residents of Southern Alberta
are justly proud of the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra, a true community
orchestra that combines the talents of many of this area’s finest
musicians. With the exception of the
resident professional quartet and the principal players, the local members of
the orchestra play on a volunteer basis.
These players, who give so freely of their time and talents so that
audiences may share with them the joys of symphonic music, come from a broad
cross section of the community. In addition
to many skilled amateur players, the orchestra is composed of outstanding
local professionals as well as talented University, high school and junior
high school students. Occasionally, a
few professional players are brought in to fill positions that cannot be
filled locally. This unique mix of
musicians combines to form the highly successful Lethbridge Symphony
Orchestra.
