The Shuswap String Orchestra has a rich history in the region, first created 17 years ago as a part of the School District #83 music program. The orchestra is now an independent, non-profit group with a goal of sharing their love of music with each other and with the community through their concerts.

Making a special guest appearance for the orchestra’s March 13 concert, the Salmon Arm Secondary senior choir will be performing their own specially-prepared pieces, directed by music instructor David Izik-Dzurko.
