The Toronto Philharmonia celebrates its 30th Anniversary Season with an 11-concert series of quality, affordable classical music.  As orchestra-in-residence in the acoustically perfect George Weston Recital Hall, Toronto Centre for the Arts, the fully-professional orchestra is led by charismatic Maestro Kerry Stratton, whose humorous and enlightening comments from the podium serve to enhance patrons’ appreciation of the music.

Highlights of the 2001-2002 program include:  an all-Verdi concert, a Hallowe’en-inspired Spooktacular, a Movie Classics night, an all-Elgar concert, a Russian-inspired Valentine, and an all-Beethoven evening. Concert dates are Thursdays at 8 p.m., with a special Sunday concert at Christmas, 2:00 p.m.

The Toronto Philharmonia has an active youth outreach program with three components -  Adopt-a-School, In-School Visits, Youth Orchestra – as well as a busy touring schedule in various southern Ontario communities.
