CLASSICAL MUSIC ON A QUEST
The ÌÇÐÄlogo Symphony Orchestra is a premier community orchestra based in Edmonton hosted by the ÌÇÐÄlogo. It plays an essential role in fostering the University’s extension and outreach goals with a membership of highly skilled musicians from the greater Edmonton community as well as providing rich work-integrated learning and performance opportunities for students in the Department of Fine Arts. Led by distinguished musician and conductor, Dr. Danielle Lisboa, the CSO carries forward almost thirty years of tradition towards artistic excellence in the performance of symphonic repertoire.
An Unshakeable Bond…
CSO members share an affinity to perform at the highest level. The orchestra’s distinct approach to repertoire features both orchestral standards and ethnic programming inviting our audiences to broaden perspectives toward a blend of styles and music cultures.
The Orchestra develops and nurtures young musicians, invites diversity through membership and repertoire, and seeks to reach out across age, background, and ethnicity in enriching the city’s classical music scene.
The CSO 2023-2024 season is on!
