We are incredible excited to have won the top Classical Instrument Award at the 2025 Forest City London Music Awards. Congratulations to our talented young musicians who work tirelessly and passionately to develop their craft. A big thank you to our Conductor, Ben Bolt-Martin who goes above and beyond to bring the ensemble together. We also couldn't do it without our board members and parents.

We also recognize the support of all our individual donors and patrons, as well as our community funders and partners: the London Arts Council, Jeffery Foundation, London Symphonia, and United Church, London, Ontario.

Thank you to all that make live classical music possible! Stay tuned to our website for details regarding our 2025-26 Seasons
