WELCOME TO THE 2019–2020 SEASON
new season is an opportunity for us as an
orchestra to refresh our collective voice in
this, our community. The music we choose to
play is our contribution to the ongoing
conversations about who we are as citizens
and what we want our home to look like. The
world over, music plays an essential role in
defining communities, and being a part of the
dialogue here in southern Saskatchewan is a
great privilege for us.
Our community continues to change, as we
should expect. Different values and priorities
come into focus, and every one of us here at
the Regina Symphony Orchestra has a stake
in actualizing these shifts. The exhilarating
repertoire we will play, whether new or
familiar, and the astounding guest artists
who will join us will help us to reflect, at least
in part, the striking array of view points and
experiences now in our midst.
Welcome to the Regina Symphony
Orchestra’s 2019-2020 season. I’m looking
forward to the conversation.
Sincerely,
Gordon Gerrard
