Fibrations Support Halton Youth Symphony

In 2012, Fibrations has joined forces with the fund-raising committee of the Halton Youth Symphony to create a special auction of art in support of the Chamber and Symphony orchestras.

The art will be showcased at a Private Art Viewing and Wine & Cheese Reception on May 1, 2012 at King’s Christian Collegiate, Oakville , ON from 7-9pm. Please RSVP by email if you are interested in attending this special launch event!

Starting May 2, 2012 the works will be on continuous display at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre in downtown Burlington. Anyone wishing to bid on any of the pieces can do so by bidding online. The orchestra will hold a special concert on Sunday May 27, 2012 at the Burlington Centre. This will be the last opportunity to bid on the works, and you can purchase tickets at the Centre Web site or by phone at 905-681-6000. All proceeds will go to support Halton Youth Symphony.

The Halton Youth Symphony’s mission is to inspire, encourage and challenge young musicians to build their musical skills through the experience of various forms of orchestral music. We strive to create an enjoyable environment that promotes teamwork, leadership and community involvement.

The HYS began at Appleby College Chapel in 1975 under the direction of Jean Grieve. During the first season, there were only twelve musicians. Known first as the Oakville Youth Symphony, then as the Sheridan Symphony, the Halton Youth Symphony has now grown to include almost 100 musicians in two orchestras — The Halton Youth Chamber Orchestra (ages 9 to 14) and the Halton Youth Symphony Orchestra (ages 12 to 19).
