The Organization of Canadian Symphony Musicians (OCSM) is a bilingual conference of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) of the United States and Canada. OCSM represents Canada's professional symphony musicians of which there are twenty-one member orchestras with approximately 1200 musicians working under collective agreements. Together with other players' conferences (International Conference of Symphony and Opera Musicians ICSOM, ROPA, RMA, and TMA), we work with the AFM to improve conditions across the continent.

Current officers of OCSM (as of August 2016) are:

  • Robert Fraser, President (Victoria Symphony)
  • Matthew Heller, First Vice-President (Calgary Philharmonic)
  • Brian Baty, Second Vice-President (Niagara Symphony)
  • Faith Scholfield, Secretary (Windsor Symphony)
  • Elizabeth Johnston, Treasurer (Canadian Opera Company Orchestra)
