Every year, the orchestra plays our "Side by Side" with students from the early music department of the Royal Conservatory of Music. Musicians from the orchestra, literally play shoulder to shoulder with students from the conservatory. A wonderful experience for both sides. They learn something from our musicians; our musicians are forced to think out of the box and explain why they actually do something a certain way. It is a beautiful win-win situation that also results in a beautiful concert.
