About Us

---

We believe that classical music is an essential element in the cultural life of the Oceanside area.  Oceanside Classical Concerts Society is committed to changing lives through music’s extraordinary power to communicate, inspire, uplift and entertain. 

Our first goal is to celebrate artistic excellence in classical music through:

• The presentation of live performances of the world’s great masterpieces by nationally and internationally acclaimed musicians

• The promotion of Canadian artists

• A subscription series model without individual ticket sales 

Our board consists of residents of Oceanside who are passionate about classical music and are committed to facilitating concerts that offer our subscribers concerts that prove the extraordinary wealth of talent in British Columbia, Canada and abroad.
