The Niagara Symphony is proud to introduce the core of 52 professional musicians. These gifted performers are the backbone of the orchestra, and at every concert you will see many familiar faces – The Musicians of the Symphony. The orchestra is led by our Concert Master, Valerie Sylvester, and each instrument has a “Principal”, the name listed at the beginning of each instrument group. Please visit the Core Musicians page for biographical information about all the artists of the Niagara Symphony.

When required by a specific piece of music the Niagara Symphony enhances its musical forces by inviting additional musicians to join our core orchestra members. Many regularly return to play with the Niagara Symphony. To meet these extra performers and read their biographies, please go to the Extra Musicians page.
 

Niagara Symphony musicians share their talent throughout the community; many are teachers and often perform as members of other ensembles. To hire a musician to perform or teach, please visit the Ensembles page.
