Tucked into the geographic centre of North America, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO) is celebrating its 75th season! Since its debut in 1948 the WSO has been a powerhouse orchestra that regularly impresses guest conductors and artists with the exceptional musicianship of its members. With music director Daniel Raiskin at the helm, this anniversary season will include performances with violinist James Ehnes, pianist Jan Lisiecki, The Crash Test Dummies, and actor John de Lancie narrating Grieg's Peer Gynt. As well as kids concerts, movie nights and special events like a Chinese New Year concert featuring Dashan, Handel’s Messiah in December. And of course, our yearly internationally acclaimed Winnipeg New Music Festival in January. We can’t wait to see you!
