Symphony: Kind Citizenship and Canadian Composers

symphony: Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra music director Eric Paetkau promised something else on the stage Saturday night that will make this performance the first of its kind citizenship, according to CBC. A dozen or so people will join the symphony on stage, where they will be sworn in as new Canadians before joining the orchestra in what's sure to be an emotional version of the national anthem. Let's do Canadiana to an extreme.'- Saskatoon Symphony music director Eric Paetkau The concert promises Canadiana to an extreme, and not just because the performance will exclusively feature Canadian composers. The idea felt like a perfect fit for a symphony that works hard to represent our community, to reflect who we are as a city, a province, a country, Paetkau told CBC Radio's Saskatoon Morning. This weekend's concert will be the final one of the 86th season for the SSO. Courtesy SSO Part of that is the all-Canadian lineup for the concert. Let's do Canadiana to an extreme and bring it all together. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
