WSO hits right note with budget surplus
WHEN it comes to budgets, you could say the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's has perfect pitch.
The WSO reported an operating surplus of $119,000 for the 2010-2011 season at its annual general meeting Wednesday along with the news that as of June 1, it has eliminated its accumulated deficit.
"They say that it takes a village to raise a child, and the same concept holds true for the diverse kind of support needed to sustain and nurture a robustly healthy symphony orchestra in our community," WSO executive director Trudy Schroeder said in a statement.
Some of the highlights of the past season included the 20th anniversary of the New Music Festival, the introduction of the new theme-based SoundBytes series and a successful appearance at the Prairie Scene Festival in Ottawa in May where the WSO performed with Manitoba-born violinist James Ehnes.

“We need to carefully add all the diverse elements that people need to live in a place: restaurants, workplaces, nice residences, perception of safety, green space, convenient transport, nearby schools for the kids they would like to have - if any piece is missing, the outcome will not last long.”
