\u201c<\/b>My hope is that from the seeds we have sown here the interest and love for good music will continue to grow in Windsor and that this fine city will be proud of its cultural development, as I am proud to be a Canadian and a Windsorite.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0(Matti Holli, Windsor Daily Star, February 7, 1951.)<\/span><\/pre>\n

\"Maestro<\/a>Maestri\/ Conductors<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
A conductor of a modern orchestra is a true multi-tasker.\u00a0 One has to be a good leader, educator, fund-raiser, entertainer and most of all, a well-rounded musician.\u00a0 If the position is a combination of a conductor and music director, then the person must also take on the tasks of planning and programming the orchestra\u2019s annual season and overseeing the educational component of the orchestra\u2019s structure.\u00a0For information on individual conductors, \u00a0Read more…<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
Musicians\/ Orchestra Members<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
Having a symphony orchestra in a relatively small Canadian city such as Windsor has been a boon to local musicians, and Windsor is fortunate to have a nexus of talented people from the area and abroad who play in the Windsor Symphony Orchestra.\u00a0 Many of the early orchestra members who had a day job elsewhere played with an orchestra just for the chance to play in a larger group.

Multiculturalism and Outreach<\/b><\/p>\n
The Windsor Symphony Orchestra has always reflected Windsor\u2019s rich multicultural history in its programming, outreach and artists. This began with founding conductor Matti Holli, who often demonstrated pride in his native Finland in his music. Holli often drew on other talented new Windsorites to perform with the WSO, such as baritone Petro Boyan Bolechiwksy who shared Ukrainian folk songs during a 1950 WSO concert.\u00a0For information on multiculturalism and outreach,\u00a0\u00a0Read more…<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
Women\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n
As an organization, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra has not only welcomed women to its corps of musicians, administration and management but without the leadership of women volunteers, the WSO would not have existed.\u00a0\u00a0 The Art Gallery of Windsor and the Windsor Public Library have similarly benefitted from the work of women.\u00a0For information on women,\u00a0 Read more…<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
\"PBJ<\/a>Children<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Windsor Symphony Orchestra has provided music for children and many opportunities for children and teens to play and perform with the orchestra.\u00a0\u201cYoung People\u2019s Concerts\u201d were announced as part of the regular season in the 1962-63 season brochure, with concerts held on Saturday mornings at the Cleary Auditorium.\u00a0\u00a0For information on children,\u00a0 Read more…<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
Fundraising\/Volunteers\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n
It is a challenge to fully acknowledge the hours of dedicated labour, privately-donated millions of dollars and goodwill that the volunteers of the Windsor Symphony Orchestra have offered to the organization through the decades, and still do today.\u00a0For information on fundraising\/volunteers,\u00a0 Read more…<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
