The Symphony benefits from being based in Benaroya Hall, one of the most acoustically acclaimed performance venues in the United States. Concurrent with the opening of the hall in 1998 the Seattle Symphony inaugurated Soundbridge, a musical discovery center where people of all ages can explore the world of symphony music through exhibits, classes, and interactive music presentations. A major upgrade of Soundbridge, incorporating state-of-the art interactive digital exhibits, is currently in the planning stage. The Symphony’s education programs bring classical music to nearly 100,000 people of all ages each year, including students at more than 200 schools in the Pacific Northwest.

THE ORGANIZATION

The Shaw Festival is a major Canadian theatre festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake and the second largest repertory theatre company in North America.

The Festival was started in 1962 by Niagara-on-the-Lake area lawyer and playwright Brian Doherty, a man who had a great passion for the provocative work of George Bernard Shaw. During the summer, Mr. Doherty organized eight weekend performances of Don Juan in Hell and Candida by Bernard Shaw under the title “Salute to Shaw”. The following year, the Shaw Festival Theatre Foundation was established as a non-profit organization, with an elected volunteer Board of Governors.

From this small and specific beginning, the Shaw Festival has grown over 50 years to become a major theatrical voice both nationally and internationally and it continues to grow. It expanded its mandate to include the plays of Shaw and his many illustrious contemporaries. The arrival of Artistic Director Christopher Newton saw the building of an acting ensemble which remains the centre of the organization. Under Artistic Director Jackie Maxwell, contemporary plays of the era were introduced, allowing for new points of view including Canadian plays to become part of the repertoire, plus the rediscovery of a once lost female theatrical voice. This sees the Shaw Festival now presenting playbills which can range from Shaw to Ann-Marie MacDonald, Coward to Brian Friel, Ibsen to Lillian Hellman, Cole Porter to Adam Guettel. The Festival is still guided by the provocative spirit of George Bernard Shaw and to celebrate and recognize the immediacy of his work. “Contemporary Shavians” have now been introduced to the programming using writers from the past and present to showcase the best in contemporary thought to maintain the relevancy of the playbill, establishing the Shaw Festival as a vital contemporary theatrical voice.
