In recognition of contributions to the arts and community, the City of Stratford has declared the week of Sept. 23-28 as Stratford Symphony Orchestra Week.
The symphony opens its 20th season on Sept. 28, with a performance of Beethoven’s 5th symphony. Led by conductor William Rowson, the show will feature bassoonist Alexandre von Wartburg.
The performance at Avondale United Church will double as an anniversary celebration.
