The goals of the RSO in Schools program are:
In 2020-21 the RSO presented a virtual performance of “The Crow’s Prophecy”. This performance is available for free including a teachers’ guide with activities and tools for further learning.
The Crow’s Prophecy, written by RSO principal flute Marie-Noelle Berthelet, demonstrates how music can tell stories, express ideas, and share emotions. Through a series of activities and demonstrations, these ideas are consolidated through the telling of The Crow’s Prophecy. This is the make-believe story of how principal oboe, Tamsin Johnson, began playing the oboe.

In 2022, the RSO has two virtual performances planned – one for high school students and one for elementary schools.
“Enough is Enough” is a powerful 30-minute performance tailored to Saskatchewan Ministry of Education learning outcomes in Social Studies, Music, and English Language Arts for grades 8-12. Cree-Dene-Métis spoken word poet, Zoey Roy, composer/arranger Juliet Palmer, and producer Omar Ballantyne form a powerhouse collaboration with the RSO to create poetry, music, and accompanying teaching materials reflecting on the prairie provinces, history, identity, and Indigenous voices.
