Given the enormous success of SSO’s Nutcracker performance in December 2023, Tchaikovsky’s first symphony, called Winter Daydreams, will be the highlight of the winter season. Surely everyone of us has skated several laps of our local ice rinks to Waldteufel’s Skater’s Waltz with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts. The SSO is pleased to present these and another seasonal favourite, The Sound of Music, at this most wonderful time of the year.
