Introducing
The Mentorship Program
The Burlington Symphony Orchestra is excited to launch its Young Artist Mentorship Program for the 2024-25 season.
Designed to support emerging talent from Halton and surrounding regions, this program offers young artists the opportunity to participate in symphonic rehearsals and performances. Through mentorship, we aim to nurture the next generation of musicians, enriching our community’s orchestral experience.
Program Highlights

These talented participants are given the opportunity to rehearse and perform as integral members of the BSO, gaining valuable real-world experience.
