Interior Scarborough Citadel with SPO on stage

Meet our Musicians

We have a core of professional musicians: principal strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion – along with a diverse group of community players of all ages, including music educators, seniors and retired musicians. We also provide opportunities for young professional musicians, university students and some advanced high school students to learn, rehearse and perform a broad repertoire alongside professional musicians.

Of course, the best way to meet our musicians is in person, at one of our SPO concerts.

If you are interested in performing with the SPO in the future, or if you are interested in brushing up your own skills on an instrument found in our orchestra, we would be happy to get you in touch with one of our SPO musicians who also teaches. please  use the contact form on this page.
