The Prince George Symphony Orchestra became aware on December 22 of a report published by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network referencing the attendance of a staff member at the July 2025 event Exiles of the Golden Age. The organization had no prior knowledge of the report or of the staff member’s attendance at the event and was alerted later on December 22 by a patron.
The organization is currently undertaking an internal review to assess the matter in light of its values, leadership responsibilities, and commitment to maintaining public trust. During this time, the staff member has been placed on paid administrative leave.
As this is a personnel matter, the Prince George Symphony Orchestra will not be providing further comment at this time. We ask for the public’s patience as this process continues, and reaffirm our commitment to equity, inclusion, and respect, as well as to fair and equitable treatment for all.
We have exciting news for the Prince George Symphony Orchestra community. An anonymous supporter has generously pledged to match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000!
That means your gift today will have twice the impact — supporting local musicians, sustaining our concerts, and ensuring the music continues to inspire our entire community.
Whether you can give $10, $200, $5000, or more, every donation will be matched. No gift is too small. Together, we can unlock the full $50,000 and keep our Symphony strong and vibrant.
The campaign will run from September 17 to December 2, 2025.

The latest joint offering from local collaborators Judy Russell and the Prince George Symphony Orchestra seeks to engage the community in a new way. Sweeney Todd is a self-styled musical thriller, and a darkly comic take on this Victorian tale of a murderous London barber by Broadway icon Stephen Sondheim.
