Saskatoon Youth Orchestra

OBS: The Saskatoon Youth Orchestra (SYO) was established in 1958 by Murray Adaskin, with the financial support of the Saskatoon Kiwanis Club, as the Saskatoon Junior Symphony. The group was, for many years, closely associated with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra (SSO). The current organization dates from 1983 when Wayne Toews and George Charpentier worked with a committee of parents to develop an independent incorporated organization. A dedicated group of parents runs the organization which has been expanded to include a preparatory string group and a Double Bass program.
