Established nearly 50 years ago, we are dedicated to providing classical music concerts for all to enjoy throughout our community. Every dollar that comes into our organization is spent on our commitment to musical excellence and serving our audience and community in the South Surrey , White Rock and surrounding areas. We put on a several concerts a year with music suitable for all ages and tastes.
Our musicians come from very diverse backgrounds, and we are proud to have players of all ages, of diverse race, religion, beliefs, orientation and gender. We operate in a nurturing environment where musicians not only develop their skills, but also mentor others, expand their experience, confidence and education.
The Orchestra facilitates training, and provides equipment and facilities to its members
to enhance and improve their musical skills through rehearsals and concerts.
About Us
Seniors
We like to use concert venues that are accessible and 'senior friendly' , and we work with Care Homes so that residents may enjoy a wonderful 'evening out' at our concerts! We are particularly proud of our historic outreach to audiences for whom music is not normally accessible, and we have a long history of playing in care homes and for those who are hospital bound.
We continue to explore opportunities to bring music
to all because of its great healing power.
Volunteering
We believe that music connects us together as a wonderful shared human experience. We are so grateful to the many people who volunteer their time. There are always plenty of volunteering opportunities available, and we would love to hear from you if you have any special skills that you would like to share.

a lasting benefit to you and our community!
Collaborations
We are advocates for the performing arts in our community, and we collaborate with local artistes. These include dancers, soloists, musical ensembles and other organizations to bring vibrance to our shows. We like to keep it fresh!
We love to work with professional guests and soloists as our headline artistes . Please drop us a line if you are interested in a collaboration ! Our Music Director has done many arrangements for soloists and will be happy to discuss things with you in more detail.
