A Lasting Legacy for the Symphony

Music has the power to inspire, connect, and bring our community together. For generations, the Stratford Symphony Orchestra has created unforgettable experiences through the beauty and joy of live music.

To help ensure this legacy continues, Roy Norton has established and seeded the Stratford Symphony Orchestra Fund at the Stratford & Perth County Community Foundation.
