SAO Conference

SAO Conference 2022: Kingston - Sparking a RenaissainceWe are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 2022 SAO Conference.

This is the first in person conference since 2019. We hope you will join us in Kingston on Saturday, November 12 (Student Day) and Sunday, November 13 (Teacher Day).

All conference events will be held in beautiful and historic downtown Kingston, just steps away from the shores of Lake Ontario. We hope this will be a weekend to inspire and rejuvenate students and teachers alike!

On Saturday, November 12, Student Day will feature violin, cello and piano workshops for students of all ages and levels. All Student day events will be held in person. Students will participate in instrument specific classes as well as an enrichment class. The student workshop fee is $60.

On Sunday, November 13, we will welcome Carrie Reuning-Hummel as the keynote speaker. The day will also feature non instrument specific sessions discussing a variety of topics that affect us all.
