The Orchestra

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.
