Can't wait. I have missed Musicians of the KWSymphony. And of course love the Grand Philharmonic Choir.

Miss the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony? We do too! Our musicians are still here, and performing whenever they can.
Join us at Centre in the Square on Saturday night and hear them playing together again, with choir and soloists, in Christmas Oratorio, Bach's tremendous celebration of this wonderful time of year. Musicians of the KWSymphony

T'is the season to Celebrate. This is a great way to help kids study the meaning behind this great work.

Celebrate the Christmas Season with Vivaldi's Gloria is a tool that will walk your children along the advent season path, through Biblical, historical and musical study, and help accomplish that often elusive goal of encouraging children to maintain their focus on the spiritual meaning of Christm...

We're excited to announce the second of our collaboration chamber music fundraiser concerts. Yesterday was our fundraiser at St. Andrew's Memorial. It was hugely successful and very well attended. Next week will feature different performers, and new piece selections. We would love to see you there, supporting the musicians of the KWsymphony.

Today was supposed to be the first rehearsal of the season — a return to doing what we love, for people who love what we do. Three days ago, we learned that instead of being at work, waiting for the downbeat, we would be at home, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Today, we learned that KWS is “exploring all possible options up to and including insolvency.” The other shoe has dropped, with a thud. Our Board of Directors says that two million dollars of new funding would be necessary to avert this disaster.

Right now, we aren’t interested in pointing fingers or assigning blame — we are focussed on finding a way to save the orchestra we all love. We don’t know right now what can be done, but we are going to figure it out and we are going to do it. KWS has been performing for the people of Waterloo Region for 78 years. We are not going to stand by and watch it vanish in the blink of an eye.

For everybody who has offered words of support in this crisis, we wholeheartedly appreciate it. Knowing that musicians and music lovers across the Region, the country, and the world care so deeply about the musicians of KWS has truly been an inspiration. Wherever this journey leads, we hope you will stay with us. We are still here and we will keep making music for you.

Stay tuned!
