Since its inception in 1981, the Kanata Symphony has succeeded in providing the community with a rich heritage of orchestral concerts and opportunities. 

The Kanata Symphony concert season consists of three concerts which are usually held in November, February and May.   Holiday concerts, benefit concerts and special events may be included.   With an emphasis on classical repertoire, a KSO concert provides the audience with a performance that is entertaining, enlightening and educational.  KSO concerts have featured soloists such as Opera singers, professional musicians, young aspiring musicians, and instrumentalists not typical of classical music.   The main idea is to share our musical achievements, education and enthusiasm with the community in an accessible manner. 

Comprised of musicians from all professions, the KSO membership thrives on the comradery of pursuing musical excellence in a safe, respectful and inclusive environment.   Our members are from all ages and walks of life, from high school students to experienced amateurs to professional musicians.
