Symphonic music by its very nature is about emotional outreach. The Niagara Symphony is amusic resource centre serving the Niagara Region. With particular care given to the promotion of the classical music repertoire, overall programming favours the diversity of our audience, along with a will to expand theirmusical horizons with a commitment to Canadian composers and performers. Working at the grassroots level, the Symphony alsomaintains and develops educational programs that support in-depth and hands-onmusical learning experiences. Priority is given to initiatives that actively engage participants as performers and creators of musical material, and fosters in its listeners, a close direct sharing of the musical performance experience!
