KSO Wellness Lab

The Kamloops Symphony is pleased to announce a new experimental outreach series for the 2020-21 Season: The KSO Wellness Lab.

MUSIC AS A TOOL FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

Wellness: The state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.
Laboratory: A place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study.

Music is proven to be  universal aid in the service of positive change. It is a well known therapeutic tool for individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and other conditions.  As well, musical talent and interest can emerge from a variety of backgrounds. By sharing positive stories, featuring inclusive and diverse musicians and talent, the KSO Wellness Lab aims to inspire and uplift our community.

Mission:

  • Contributing to our community by showing creativity, high artistry, connection, and caring.
  • Revealing pieces that are not part of the standard repertoire that reflect diversity and parity.
  • Creating a deep sense of connection between the musicians and the audience.
