Musical Excellence in New Westminster, BC
The New Westminster Symphony Orchestra (NWSO) is one of the oldest community orchestras in North America, having presented its first concert in February 1915. Continuing its tradition of presenting classical music to Lower Mainland audiences, our "admission by donation" ensures that everyone who enjoys good classical music can attend our concerts.
The NWSO takes pride in the cultural, ethnic and age diversity of our orchestra members. The orchestra is home to dedicated amateur musicians providing them with the opportunity to perform under the baton of professional conductors.
Four mainstage concerts are presented each season at Sanctuary on 6th in New Westminster. Subscribe to our mailing list to receive notices of upcoming concerts.
Upcoming Concert
Our Children's Concert is for those young, and young at heart. The very young will enjoy the narrated Peter and the Wolf, students will participate playing “toy instruments” such as a toy trumpet, a ratchet, and bird calls (nightingale, quail and cuckoo) in the Toy Symphony, and all will be dazzled by the virtuosic playing of violinist Dominic Woo. A concert for all ages!
Sunday, March 1 at 2pm, Sanctuary on 6th, New Westminster.
