Georgian Bay Symphony
The Georgian Bay Symphony was founded in 1972 by a small group of dedicated area musicians. Since then the GBS has grown to an outstanding community orchestra with over 50 volunteer members and a core group of professionals. The GBS, under the baton of John Barnum, performs five main concerts in the OSCVI Regional Auditorium each season as well as two afternoon concerts in smaller venues. Several of these concerts feature some of Canada’s best musical talent.
Our award winning Youth Orchestra consists of 40 young people ranging in age from 8 to 18 and they perform two main concert a year. Along with the Youth Orchestra GBS encourages talented young people with a bursary and scholarship program supported in part by our subscribers.
The Symphony also has a Composer-in-Residence program to encourage the production of Canadian music and assist with education in area schools and with our audience.
