The Sault Symphony Orchestra's mission is to achieve a balance between presenting works that are part of the standard orchestra repertoire that feature recognized yet affordable guest artists, and that appeal to a diverse range of residents in the Algoma district of Ontario and the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Whenever possible, the Sault Symphony Orchestra will also pursue educational and outreach initiatives to encourage the growth of quality music education and awareness programs in our community. Such ventures may include performing school and children concerts, collaborating with high-quality, non-profit youth music ensembles, music schools, and music departments, presenting awards and scholarships to highlight and encourage music excellence; and/or other activities when the opportunity presents.
