Since Quinte Symphony’s founding in 1960 by Music Director Stephen Choma as the Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra, we have presented soloists performing orchestral music, including many Canadian works. At the time of the orchestra’s formation, there were many highly trained, local amateur musicians who were passionate about music. This new orchestra also provided an opportunity for students to perform alongside more experienced musicians. Notable names in musical circles have led Quinte Symphony including Kerry Stratton and Clifford Crawley. Gordon Craig became Music Director in 1990 and transformed Quinte Symphony into a small symphony orchestra capable of playing from the standard symphonic repertoire. Quinte Symphony’s commitment to encouraging musical development has seen the addition of student awards programmes and ensemble performances in schools and at local community events. We self-present a 4 concert MasterWorks series and frequently a Quinte Symphony Pops concert.

What is the Community of Heart? An opportunity for the community to take responsibility for developing our youth into balanced, inspired and energized leaders of tomorrow.   We are working to develop and expand a Community of parents, businesses and individuals who contribute a sustainable monthly donation which will be used to create low priced and free Educo opportunities for young people. Our first goal is 500 people giving monthly support! How Will The Funds Be Used?? 3 Ways: 1. Educo will offer many more full and partial scholarships to young people. 2. To reduce our prices.  Though we offer much more than most site based summer camps, we could charge the same amount which requires assistance. 3. Lastly, the money will be used how you would like us to use it!  As a part of the Community of Heart, you will be informed how we are spending the money and you will have the ability to offer ideas, vote on new program directions and give feedback on development.
