Sinfonia Toronto performs its main series in Glenn Gould Studio. The orchestra travels to other Ontario centres, broadcasts on CBC and has joined the Elmer Iseler Singers for oratorio performances.

Sinfonia Toronto’s strings often perform standing, in the tradition of great chamber orchestras, blending each musician’s soloistic energy into a brilliant ensemble style under Music Director Nurhan Arman. A roster of winds and percussion joins the strings for programs drawn from the full range of chamber orchestra repertoire.

Soloists for 2001-2002 include pianists Andre Laplante and Robert Silverman and violinist Etsuko Kimura. Several programs will also focus on special-theme repertoire of exceptional beauty and interest.

Sinfonia Toronto has been acclaimed by critics. The Toronto Star writes of  “a remarkable range of colour,” “ample eloquence” and “gripping authority.” The Barrie Advance headlined “A Treasured Experience”. The Toronto Star praised Grieg’s Holberg Suite and the Dvorak Serenade, “both of which Arman led in an affectionate, unhurried manner, with an appreciation of their singing qualities,” while La Scena Musicale declared, “Nurhan Arman and his orchestra literally conquered us.”
