Pre COVID, the Winnipeg School Division’s Divisional honor band was a vibrant, engaging and inspirational event that fostered the growth of some of Manitoba’s finest young musicians.  Over the past two years the honor band was silenced; another casualty of the COVID lockdowns. This year however, it is back, albeit in an adapted form. Band students who go to schools in the Province’s largest division will be able to show their remarkable talents via an online concert.

This weekend, Virtuosi presents their final concert of the 2021-22 season featuring violinist Christina Bouey and pianist Pierre-André Doucet. 

The 2022/23 concert season will be a significant one for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO) as they look to celebrate 75 years with a full return to concerts.
