ESTEVAN WELCOMES REGINA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Released on April 3, 2009

This Sunday, Estevan welcomes the Regina Symphony Orchestra (RSO) for a concert of classical music on the second stop of the RSO Music on the Road centennial tour. The concert will be held on Sunday April 5 at 3 p.m. in the cafetorium at Estevan Comprehensive School.

The Regina Symphony is the first recipient of funding from the Building Pride program, which was announced in January 2009. The orchestra is receiving $200,000 for a Centennial Tour of three southern Saskatchewan cities. Besides bringing the opportunity of attending a live symphony performance to people in smaller centres and surrounding areas, it is hoped the tour will build audiences for orchestral music around the province.

"I am pleased we've been able to make it possible for the RSO to take their show on the road in their centennial year," Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell said. "The RSO is the first recipient of funding under the Building Pride pilot program and a great way to start what I hope will be a dynamic program of sharing what is unique about this province."

In addition to the performance in Estevan, and an earlier one in Swift Current, the RSO will play a concert in Yorkton on April 23.

"Estevan is excited to welcome the RSO," Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles said. "This performance will be an inspiration for aspiring young musicians and a joyous evening for everyone who loves to hear classical music played live."

The RSO will perform Dvorak Symphony No. 6 and Overture to Carmen by Saskatchewan-based composer and musician Elizabeth Raum. Renowned Canadian violinist Lara St. John will perform Bartok Violin Concerto No. 2 with the Orchestra.
