Season 2022-23 Videos

The Scarborough Philharmonic Orchestra community of musicians and composers made a phenomenal effort to continue to practice their art and stay in touch with their audience during Covid-19 lockdown. The silver-lining was developing new skills and finding new friends. As we return to in-person music-making and concert production, we continue to develop and present online content featuring the talents of our musicians, collaborators, colleagues and emerging professionals involved in our New Generation Program.

SPO to embark on a Resilient Communities Project

SPO was gratified to learn that we had been successful with an application to the Ontario Trillium Foundation in seeking funding for an organizational renewal project during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons. OTF’s Resilient Communities Program offers support to organizations as they recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 lockdown period, reconnect with their communities and develop new methods and strategies for greater resilience.
