The Georgian Bay Symphony (GBS) located in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada was founded in 1972 by a small group of dedicated area musicians and became a Canadian Registered Charity in 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/charity-eng.action?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cra-arc.gc.ca%3A80%2Febci%2Fhaip%2Fsrch%2Fbasicsearchresult-eng.action%3Fk%3DGeorgian%2520Bay%2520Symphony%26amp%3Bamp%3Bs%3Dregistered%26amp%3Bamp%3B%3DSearch%26amp%3Bamp%3Bp%3D1%26amp%3Bamp%3Bb%3Dtrue%26amp%3Bamp&bn=118937275RR0001 ) 〕 It is considered a significant cultural institution in Owen Sound and area.〔 〕 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 Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute Regional Auditorium each season as well as two “Music in the Afternoon” concerts in smaller venues. Guest artists have included some of Canada’s best musical talent including Shauna Rolston, Alain Trudel, George Gao, Adrian Anantawan, Richard Raymond, and Sharlene Wallace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.sharlenewallace.com/ )〕 In 1985, the orchestra played host to a unique on ice live performance with Toller Cranston. In 1990, they hosted a performance of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra on a good will tour of Canada. Over the years the orchestra has also premiered work by several Canadian composers: F. R. C. Clarke's "Saugeenia" March 8, 1981 in concert with the Centennial Singers in Port Elgin. Andrew Ager's "Autumn Overture" October 25, 2003. Kevin Lau's "Sea of Blossoms" March 3, 2007 and "The White Horse" February 2009. Luc Martin's "Concerto for Recorder and Double Base" February 7, 2015. Richard Mascall〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.musiccentre.ca/node/37850/biography )〕 was the Composer in Residence from 2007-2010. While holding this position he created several works that were premiered by the GBS: “Giizhigoong” commissioned as part of the City of Owen Sound’s 150 Anniversary celebrations, “Dream of the Anishnabaek”, “Ojibway Songs”, “Nanabush and the Giant Beaver”, Manitoulin”. Many of these works have been performed by many other groups including “Manitoulin” by Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The GBS also supports a Youth Orchestra conducted by Richard Mascall. The Symphony participates in many community events including performing the National Anthem before at least one OHL Jr A Owen Sound Attack hockey game each season. In May 2013, the Symphony co-sponsored Owen Sound's first International Fiddle Day. The GBS is supported by the Ontario Arts Council,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arts.on.ca/Page4740.aspx?DateTime=634673664000000000&PageMode=View )〕 the Leflar Foundation〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.leflarfoundation.com/ )〕 and its many sponsors and subscribers.
