It is part of the violin school Institut Suzuki (Montréal) and member of the international Suzuki Associations of the Americas. For nearly 30 years, the MSSO has been an uniquely non-audition-based youth orchestra. Founder and conductor Dragan Djerkic believes that every child's potential is unlimited. Students range 12-20 years of age and come from throughout Montréal's French and English, private and public school systems. MSSO is rooted in the tradition of the respected Japanese violinist, educator and humanitarian Dr.Shinichi Suzuki. By nurturing a love of beautiful music, Dragan focuses on developing youth of good character. And perhaps, some will become professional musicians. With a demanding rehearsal schedule and rich repertoire, the orchestra offers a foundation for musical achievement and lifelong friendships. Following its successful 2016 Tour of China, the MSSO now also offers global adventure! © 2017 TimChin.com ABOUT SCL 2018 The Summa Cum Laude Festival (SCL) in Vienna is one of Austria’s premier global youth music festival.
