WSO season features diverse lineup of classical and pops concerts, including a visit from soprano Dawn Upshaw
By: Alison Mayes
NEXT season, the ever-flexible players of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra will find scores on their music stands ranging from Michael Jackson’s punchy Beat It to Dvorak’s soulful New World Symphony; from wizardly Harry Potter movie themes to the Manhattan Transfer’s catchy take on Boy From New York City.
They’ll soar into Sibelius, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and Brahms, make room for McCartney, Sondheim, Procol Harum and the Moody Blues, and share sonic space with the big voices of Len Cariou and Lorna Luft.
The WSO unveiled its 64th season Friday — a diverse September-to-May calendar with a total of 57 concert dates.

The Rosamunde Summer Music Academy is Canada’s newest program for string players of all ages and skill levels! Rosamunde Summer Music Academy will offer its students a high calibre musical learning experience in an idyllic and nurturing setting.
Our faculty have been hand-picked for their vast knowledge, long performing experience and dedication to a supportive yet exacting teaching style.
Our programs are designed in accordance with a holistic philosophy that seeks to develop students’ physical and mental well-being as well as their musical/technical abilities and ensemble skills. To this end, we will be offering drop-in yoga classes each morning as well as sessions in Alexander Technique.
