North Bay Symphony Orchestra

As part of the ongoing development of the North Bay Symphony and in keeping with our mission to “enrich, education and entertain”, the North Bay Symphony Society started a school for string students in September 2006.

The Supervisor of the school is Thomas Jones, Music Director of the NBSO. Jordan Wyshniowsky and Nick Ross teach violin, viola, cello and guitar. All teachers play in our orchestra. (ABOUT OUR TEACHERS-->)
