The Orchestre symphonique de l'Isle is a Montreal ensemble is made up of around fifty musicians which is celebrating its 20th year of existence this year. It has presented three or four concert programs per season since 2001 and has built an excellent reputation among Canada's best community ensembles. It is made up of semi-professional musicians from varied backgrounds. Founded in 2001 by Dominique Piotte, OSI was led by Stewart Grant (2001-2002) and Daniel Myssyk (2002-2004), then Cristian Gort (2004-2019). From the fall of 2022, Hubert Tanguay-Labrosse will be at the helm of artistic direction of the orchestra.

Since its beginnings, the OSI has produced high-quality concerts warmly received by the public. It is managed by a board of directors made up of musicians from the orchestra and external members, who work tirelessly to keep the orchestra alive and growing to the satisfaction of its musicians. Over the years, the OSI has developed projects and collaborations with several organizations: Festivalissimo, for the Passion en rouge et noir concerts, Suzuki Musique Montréal, by organizing competitions featuring promising young musicians, in addition to partnerships with Concordia University, the McGill University Conservatory of Music, the Choeur de la Prairie and the Grand Choeur de Montréal, which gave rise to varied projects.

The ambitions of the OSI are to provide musicians with an experience where pleasure, effort and involvement are valued, and to aim for continuous artistic progression of the orchestra, supported by a committed board of directors.
