Description
Symphony Hamilton began in 1973 as the McMaster University Symphony Orchestra under the leadership of Dr Lee Hepner. Registered as a charitable organization in 1981, the orchestra left the University in 1988 and became the Greater Hamilton Symphony Association, an independent community orchestra operating under the name of Symphony Hamilton. The orchestra still maintains its original objectives:
Symphony Hamilton plays an important role in expanding the opportunities for enjoyment of music in the Hamilton and Burlington regions, by offering attractive and diverse concert programs at affordable prices. It provides musical training and enrichment for aspiring young musicians and qualified amateur players who enjoy the privilege of playing challenging symphonic music together with a core of professionals. Since its inception, more than 500 musicians have performed with our orchestra and many of them have gone on to distinguished professional careers in Canada and internationally. Symphony Hamilton has performed with the Mohawk College Singers, the Guelph Chamber Choir, the Brampton Festival Singers and other regional ensembles. Small ensembles from Symphony Hamilton play in schools, churches and community concerts. In addition, the orchestra supports the efforts of Canadian composers by regularly featuring their works and commissioning new scores.
The Symphony Hamilton Young Artists' Competition, held annually since 1991, offers junior and senior winners the unparalleled opportunity to perform concerto movements with full orchestra, and reveals year after year the tremendous depth of talent and quality of music education in the Hamilton-Burlington region.
