Escape from the noise of everyday life and treat your soul to some of the most beautiful music ever imagined. Each concert is an emotional journey designed to leave you feeling like a million bucks (even if the ticket was less than $20). Whether it's your first time at a classical concert or you wear powdered wigs for kicks and named your daughter Wolfgang - our orchestra, led by the personable Maestro Victor Sawa, promises you a night to remember in the heavenly acoustics of the Conexus Arts Centre. It's so much more enjoyable than therapy at a fraction of the cost!

P.S. If you're new to the music or just curious to hear the juicy stories behind it, come early for our free Symphony Preludes.

When we're not playing classic hits from the '60s and '70s (the 1760s and 70s, that is), we like to let our hair down with tunes from the silver screen, Broadway, rock and roll, video games, you name it! In addition to being a renowned conductor, Victor Sawa also happens to be a movie buff and pop culture fanatic and sometimes his stories are as much fun as the music. This is one guy you really don't want to play Trivial Pursuit against and this is one series you really don't want to miss. Get your tickets now to avoid disappointment.

Cozy up for some gorgeous surround sound with our 12-member core ensemble, The RSO Chamber Players, in the historic (and some say haunted!) ballroom of Government House. Because these concerts feature pieces written especially for a small group of instruments in an intimate setting, they kind of feel like musical conversations between old friends. Have a laugh and learn a thing or two as lead violinist and concertmaster Ed Minevich gives you the scoop on each piece. We like to play new music on occasion, too - sometimes by our very own players. (And you thought all the great composers were dead!)

Every concert we get to spend with you is special, of course, but it's always our goal to bring the joy of music to as many ears as possible. If that means throwing our own version of Woodstock in Wascana Park, jamming with rock stars, clowning for the kids, having everyone we know over for the holidays and showcasing future Canadian idols of classical music, count us in! As long as you're there with us.

Let The RSO Chamber Players serenade you and your date as you feast on international cuisine and dance it off in the beautiful Cortlandt Hall Dining Room of the Hotel Saskatchewan Radisson Plaza. If the romantic spirit moves you, why not spend the night? Call the Hotel Saskatchewan for tickets and room packages: 522-7691.
