Learning music in Regina
Since its inception, Regina has had some of the best music clubs, music, and literary societies, and church choirs in Canada. Frank L. Laubach, a professional musician who came to the city from Scotland in 1904, was the undisputed leader in music until his retirement in 1922. He founded the Regina Philharmonic Society in 1904 and the Regina Orchestra Society. From those years until now, Regina has steadily progressed in the music industry to the present day, which is one of the best cities in Canada in this field. Regina's most famous musicians include Stu Davis, Jack Sample, Greg Williamson, Andy Schaff, Kick X, and more. Exchange and Kaneos Art Center are some of the most famous music halls in the city, and the Regina Folk Festival can be considered the biggest music festival there.
