WSO wows with wizardly wonder

It was a very warm sunny evening Saturday, August 6 for approximately 500 concertgoers on the hill at Seacliff Beach and the Leamington Sunset Amphitheatre for the Windsor Symphony Orchestra (WSO) summer concert.

The free concert, sponsored by the Municipality of Leamington, was part of the WSO outdoor concert series and featured a full orchestra performing music from the popular Harry Potter series of movies.

The WSO is celebrating its 75th season and will be back in Leamington December 2 to play Handel’s Messiah at Leamington Mennonite Church.

The next free WSO outdoor concert is Saturday, August 13 at Reaume Park in front of the Peace Fountain in Windsor.

Carter Moguel, 8, Viviana Dyvenko, 9, Bianca Dyvenko, 9, and Marcus Dyvenko, 6, are ready to cast a spell after spending the evening listening to the sounds of Harry Potter by the WSO.
