Orchestra London Canada
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Orchestra London Canada was a professional Canadian symphony orchestra based in London, Ontario. The orchestra was founded by conductor and violinist Bruce Sharpe in 1937 with the name the London Civic Symphony Orchestra. In 1957 the orchestra changed its name to the London Symphony Orchestra, and it adopted its current name in 1981.[1]
After weeks of speculation, the orchestra ceased operations on December 11, 2014 due to massive budget shortfalls.[2] The musicians of the now bankrupt organization formally filed for bankruptcy on behalf of the orchestra on May 22, 2015.[3] Despite this, the contracted musicians of the ensemble have continued to put on self-produced concerts within the London community.[4]
