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
This concert features young musicians: composers (such as Mozart and Schubert) who wrote symphonies at a young age, and a world premiere of a composition written by a first year student at UBC. Enjoy a performance by a young cello major at the University of Ottawa. Marvel at the ingenuity of the young minds!
Sunday, May 10 at 2pm, Sanctuary on 6th, New Westminster.
