| Founded in the fall of 1953 by the late Emil First, the original Symphony was born from of a group of very interested adults and local music students. The first public performance was held on January 13, 1954. In 1957 and for the next 18 years Eric Woodward served as the Symphony’s conductor. During his tenure the orchestra evolved into the Sudbury Philharmonic Society as it combined orchestra and choir. |
Following Woodward’s departure in 1974, the orchestra and the choir became separate entities. The choir became The Bel Canto Chorus, and the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra emerged as the newly incorporated, not-for-profit orchestra that exists today. A new mandate and mission was adopted to reflect the Symphony’s twofold commitment to music education and to public performance.
In 1975 Metro Kozak became the SSO’s third conductor, a position he held until his retirement in 1997. In 1997 Victor Sawa, took over the podium and has held the position since.
