The Georgian Bay Symphony is proud to be the only community orchestras in Canada to produce a season of virtual concerts and wants to share its hard work and excitement with everyone.

It has been a long year since the orchestra produced its first digital concert last May. “All of our GBS musicians, conductor, business manager and board members have all worked hard this year to produce a digital season of beautiful music. We are thrilled to offer our community the final concert of the season. Enjoy!” says Nancy MacDonald GBS Board Chair. GBS Music Director Francois Koh added “Giving six full time virtual concerts is a huge achievement for all of us. Bravo to everyone!”

The lessons learned and the confidence built by all the members of the Symphony will help launch it into the next season. Music Director Francois Koh is very excited about what’s next. “This fall, the GBS will present a hybrid season consisting of virtual and live concerts with beautiful repertoire. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you at the East Ridge. Please stay tuned!”
