The Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony's creditor proposal got unanimous support and was approved by the Superior Court of Ontario!

The concerts will resume!

So happy to read that this important part of our community is back.

Tonight, I spent the evening at the KW Symphony Players’ benefit concert. The +$7000 raised will go to the musicians who’ve lost their livelihoods and to help them continue their work within the community. A fantastic programme – beautiful, humorous, a bit of poignancy – all of it, so well performed. Much better than my grainy zoomy pica convey.

Hoping the Symphony will return. We need them. If you can, please donate

An excellent story about the KW Symphony. An important part that wasn't widely known before now: 75% decrease in subscribers since The Beforetimes.

While not all my questions are answered, it does touch on topics raised in private conversations with other supporters/concerned folks;
- Diversity
- Generational shift
- Population shift (esp over the past 5 yrs)
- Ripple effect from the last community bailout

I didn't realise this would come this quickly.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony (KWS) filed for bankruptcy Thursday after abruptly cancelling its upcoming season originally scheduled to start this week.
