Prater Ensemble

Mission

Prater Ensemble is a non-for-profit organization, founded in 2004. Prater Ensemble's mission is to come together with fellow musicians and perform concerts not only in concert halls but also in Community Centers, Senior Homes, Schools and Hospitals.

The goal of Prater Ensemble's concerts and events is to raise funds for the programs that will foster the integration of newcomer classical musicians into Canada. These programs will focus their efforts on talented musicians who struggle to find meaningful work in the months that follow their arrival. It is with passion, love and gratitude that our musicians share their gifts. This is an opportunity to "GIVE BACK"

Vision

We believe in making a better Canada through the art of classical music. It is the music that as common language unties us all in order to contribute to the cultural vitality of our communities. Prater Ensemble is committed to make a difference through creating educational programs such as youth orchestra, music camps, workshops and reintegration programs for newcomer classical musicians.

The Music That We Embrace

Prater Orchestra is led by Joseph Lerner as Music Director and Roufat Amiraliev as Concermaster. Classical music has all the elements of most lasting value imaginable. In it men and women find almost all the shades of feelings they may desire. The very depths of pathos and sadness are sounded in some numbers, in others there is joy and lightness, humour and merriment, sublimest dignity, and some find that serenity of beauty which seems to lift man above himself. The beauty that make him free for the time from the shadows and darker places of his nature, and all pieces alike are cast in a form of most perfect art.

Classical music is like the beauty of the starry heavens that cast their glitter upon the earth with a radiant yet somewhat chastened joy which speaks of eternity. To admire the classical composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Chopin et al bespeaks of a keen appreciation of forms of unique and wondrous passion and loveliness, like the forms of land of mysterious.

Like no other art form do we experience the ultimate beauty and harmony of absolute mastery and cohesiveness.

Building Relationship with Community

Right now in this time of economic, and community fragility there is a growing movement of how as individuals, and business members we can find ways of being of service of investing in your community is a great way to give back to those who have helped support your business. Volunteer groups and non-for-profit organizations do so much to help the communities that all of us are a part of, but they can't do it alone.

Community service isn't about padding one's resume, it isn't about doing things so that one might be proud and arrogant about it. But it is the dawning realization of experiencing a greater understanding of our humanity, our fragility and a greater appreciation of the great lives that so many of us lead and deem to be "normal" - when it pretty much is extraordinary in its own respect relative to many other individuals around the world. "

As successful members of the community, we need to ask ourselves, do we have a responsibility to help those that are less fortunate and contribute to the common good?

Reaching out to help others, not only benefits the person/organization being helped, but practicing altruism also has many benefits for the person doing the helping. It is a generous way of expressing gratitude for all that you have been given. The gifts that one receives from giving back and from reaching out to help others are immense and priceless.

We ask you to take advantage of this opportunity to "GIVE BACK" While supporting Prater Ensemble you are also supporting many others.
