On November 9, friends and supporters of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra learned that the orchestra had recorded its fifth consecutive balanced budget in 2010-11 – a season that also marked the orchestra’s 50th anniversary, its first-ever sold-out classics performance since moving to the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium 25 years earlier, and the winning of the Vida Peene Award.

Commenting on the good news, TBSO Board President Paul Inksetter said, “Our 50th anniversary season was a good one for us. While we still face a number of challenges, we are more confident of our future now than we have been for a very long time. We have a wonderful new Music Director in Arthur Post. Our audiences love the new energy he has brought to our programming.”
