The Georgian Bay Symphony (GBS) located in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada was founded in 1972 by a small group of dedicated area musicians. The GBS is a community orchestra with over 60 volunteer musicians and a core group of professionals under the musical direction of John Barnum. The GBS performs five “Main Series” concerts in the 761 seat OSCVI Regional Auditorium each season as well as two “Music in the Afternoon” concerts in smaller venues. Several concerts in the past have featured some of Canada’s best musical talent including Adrian Anantawan, Richard Raymond, and Jennifer Potter.
The mission of the Symphony is to bring the best of classical music to Grey County and Bruce County for all to enjoy.
