2023 Inductee: Mississauga Symphony Orchestra

The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra is passionate about and committed to, maintaining, and continuing the tradition of classical symphonic music in Mississauga.

Active in Mississauga since 1972 it has been a resident tenant inside the Living Arts Centre since 1997. The MSO takes pride in their designation as the best hybrid orchestra in Canada, a term that describes an orchestra with a mixture of professional musicians and highly skilled amateurs.

Under the direction of Maestro Denis Mastromonaco since 2013, the orchestra continues to offer entertaining and increasingly sophisticated programs from classical and popular repertoires of symphonic music performed to the highest artistic standards.

The MSO continues to serve its original mandate to provide performance opportunities and personal development to talented amateurs while combining the strands of excellence and education through solo performance opportunities, commissions, and mentoring.

“With the inclusion of the Mississauga Symphony Youth Orchestra in 2013, the organization has become the center of classical music in Mississauga, built around the pillars of music education, performance, and entertainment.”
