The Regina Symphony Orchestra (RSO) is a full scale professional orchestra led by the innovative and exciting Music Director, Gordon Gerrard. All of the RSO Musicians are members of the American Federation of Musicians. During a 39 week season, the orchestra rehearses and performs for: a pre-season outdoor concert, eight Masterworks concerts, five Shumiatcher Pops concerts, three Great-West Life, London Life & Canada Life Kids concerts, six Government House chamber concerts, and three Special concerts including perennial favourite, Handel’s Messiah.
Through their professional performances, the RSO Musicians make a valuable contribution to the cultural fabric of southern Saskatchewan. The musicians live and raise their families in Regina and surrounding areas. However, many musicians pursue a variety of other professions while still maintaining their hectic orchestral schedule.
