Cows and Classics goes virtual - and global!

SSO's unique concert promises star power!

The SSO's "Cows & Classics", one of the community’s favourite annual music outreach events, will be digitally broadcast on Sunday, June 28, 2020, 7:30 pm on this website and on BravoStratford.ca.

The 2020 version of Cows & Classics can’t have a live audience, but the performers are phenomenal: operatic stars Roger Honeywell, James Westman, and Phillip Addis, all accompanied by pianist Emily Hamper; musical theatre stars Marcus Nance, Franklin Brasz and Barbara Fulton; pianist and composer Paul Shilton; the SSO’s principal horn Andrew MacDonald, international flautist Liesel Deppe; solo violinist Ji Won Baxter, SSO member and winner of the Emerging Artist Competition; Stephen Russell, renowned actor formerly with the Stratford Festival for over 35 years; and David Murray on piano.

This livestream event is free of charge but donations would be greatly appreciated to support the wide range of activities of the SSO.
