Welcome

Celebrating Black Voices: The Chevalier de St. Georges – Amherstburg Freedom Museum

In Partnership with the River Bookshop, and the Amherstburg Freedom Museum Windsor, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra presents WSO concertmaster, Lillian Scheirich, brings to life a concerto by the swashbuckling 18th century composer, Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de St. Georges. Jessie Montgomery’s composition Shift, Change, Turn provides a new twist on the four seasons.
