Symphony New Brunswick Inc., a registered charity, operates Symphony New Brunswick, a provincially-mandated professional symphony orchestra. The orchestra offers two concert series annually in Saint John, Moncton and Fredericton and performs occasional run-outs to smaller communities. The symphony also offers an extensive school and community outreach program.
Symphony New Brunswick (SNB), New Brunswick's only full-scale provincial symphony orchestra, is a registered charity with a strong record of fiscal responsibility. It is financed by ticket sales, grants from government agencies, contributions from Symphony New Brunswick Foundation Inc. and from corporations, other foundations and many individuals. The organization, in its 37th year of operation, is governed by a Board of Directors, currently comprising twelve members from across the province. SNB's vision is, by building on a long musical tradition, to be seen as the national-class professional symphony orchestra for all New Brunswickers. Its mission is, through high-quality educational offerings and performances, innovation and creativity, to promote the awareness and appreciation of symphonic music in an increasingly diverse New Brunswick.
SNB consists of a core of salaried professional musicians and a number of per-service professional musicians. In addition to its orchestral series in Saint John, Moncton and Fredericton, SNB also sponsors concerts by the Saint John String Quartet and by other professional musicians who perform with the symphony. Community outreach and school concerts are a vital part of the symphony's program throughout the Province.
