About the SSO

The Sudbury Symphony Orchestra is a not-for-profit charitable organization that is dedicated to

increasing the awareness and appreciation of classical music in the Sudbury Region and surrounding

area. This is done through the presentation of high quality concerts featuring local and professional

musicians, and by encouraging artistic excellence, commitment and education.

The Sudbury Symphony Orchestra is powered by a vision of promoting a culture of creativity in the City

of Greater Sudbury. We aspire to foster a community in which children and adults are exposed to the

extraordinary personal benefits that come from participation in music and the arts.
