Orchestra emerges from bankruptcy

Canada’s Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, which went bankrupt in September last year, has reached a settlement with its creditors and will resume performances in the coming month.

The agreement has been ratified by the Superior Court of Ontario.

‘The board is delighted to be working with the musicians of the KWS to continue an almost eight-decade legacy of bringing a diverse range of live concerts and outreach programs to audiences,” said board chairman Bill Poole. ‘We’re excited to define and realize a strategic and artistic vision for the future of the KWS moving forward, continuing the orchestra’s longstanding commitment of delivering exceptional live music experiences as a living part of our community.
