With increased funding, the orchestra engaged Martin Boundy as music director in 1950, and he would remain in this position until 1969.
[5] The orchestra continued with regular seasons of standard repertoire under well-established music directors Clifford Evens (1969-1979), Alexis Hauser (1981-1988), Uri Mayer (1988-1994), Mark Laycock (1995-1998), Simon Streatfeild (1999-2000), Timothy Vernon (2000-2010), and Alain Trudel (2010-2014).
[6] Guest soloists included tenor Jon Vickers, pianist Glenn Gould, contraltos Jessye Norman and Maureen Forrester, baritone Robert Goulet, pianist Anton Kuerti, soprano Shirley Jones, jazz performer Moe Koffman, pianist Louis Lortie, violinists James Ehnes and Scott St. John, and conductors Sir Ernest MacMillan and Mario Bernardi.
After weeks of speculation, the orchestra ceased operations on December 11, 2014 due to massive budget shortfalls.
