| The OSO is turning fifty in 2010, & we invite you to join the party. We look back to our beginnings by re-creating our very first concert program performed under the baton of orchestra founder Willem Bertsch in 1060. This is a wonderful mix of popular classics. To make our celebration extra special, Rosemary will share the stage with orchestra alumni as well as previous Directors...

| Carlos del Junco plays the harmonica like nobody else in the world. While respected as a blues artist, the music played transcends all categorization into sheer artistry bringing musical credibility to what has been cinsidered by many, a fringe folk instrument.

| You could say that the Mighty Popo is a Rwandan/Burundian refugee/survivor whose music is steeped in African tradition, but you'd hardly be getting at the whole story of one of Canada's greatest rising stars...A member of the 2004 Juno Award winning African Guitar Summit, the kudos received for his genre-busting solo work, his highlight performance at the Canadian edition of Bob Geldof's international Live 8 concerts & his brilliant return to New Orleans for CBC Radio's Maple Leaf Mojo Meets New Orleans Gumbo benefit concert broadcast live across Canada...www.mightypopo.ca
