About the MSO

Background & History

The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra is recognized as Canada’s leading hybrid orchestra, combining professional musicians with highly skilled amateurs. Under the direction of Maestro Denis Mastromonaco since 2013, the MSO presents ambitious and engaging programs performed to the highest artistic standards.

Since welcoming the Mississauga Symphony Youth Orchestra in 2014, the organization has become the cornerstone of classical music in Mississauga, rooted in education, performance, and community engagement.

In addition to presenting diverse concerts that showcase the finest symphonic repertoire, the MSO has produced four acclaimed fully-staged operas and is a proud member of the Mississauga Music Walk of Fame – a testament to its enduring impact on Mississauga’s cultural landscape.

The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to present its thirteenth season under the direction of Maestro Denis Mastromonaco.
