Symphony Nova Scotia

Symphony Nova Scotia is a Canadian orchestra located in Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia. SNS performs over 50 concerts annually for more than 50,000 people, and its repertoire ranges from classical and baroque to traditional and maritime pops. Symphony Nova Scotia began in 1983 with only 13 full-time musicians. Symphony Nova Scotia is the largest employer in Nova Scotia’s cultural community, employing 37 musicians and 10 administrative staff, along with over 150 contracted artistic, production and technical personnel. The SNS's talented team has won many prestigious awards, including four East Coast Music Awards for classical music. Symphony Nova Scotia places a high priority on community involvement and outreach. Its educational programs reach over 14,000 elementary, junior, and senior high school students each year – students who may not otherwise have access to a symphony. The orchestra also conducts many accessible community programs, including pre-concert chats, open dress rehearsals, performances in the local public library and regional touring.
