Raise money for Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra

The Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra is the future of music in our community. We are committed to providing unique opportunities for youth across Nova Scotia and to supporting young musicians as they grow.

Together, the Symphony Striders and the NSYO are raising money for the NSYO Wellness Program. The first of its kind in Atlantic Canada, the Wellness Program provides resources for mental, physical, and musical health that supports our youth musicians' development in a positive and healthy environment. Programming kicks off with the NSYO Connect: Orchestra Retreat Weekend where musicians meet our team of wellness experts and are introduced to the many components of healthy music making. Throughout the season musicians have access to the Beyond the Notes weekly workshop series which provides practical tools and encourages thoughtful conversations about wellness. Nutritional breaks are integrated into each rehearsal and musical programming is structured to support joyful music making.
