The Toronto Philharmonia celebrates its 32nd season with a 13-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.
Highlights of the 2003-2004 programme: all of Beethoven’s piano concertos; all of Bach’s Brandenburg concertos; Carmina Burana with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir; lighter classical offerings of Last Night of the Proms and Gershwin; Barber of Seville hosted by Iain Scott; an all-Dvorak evening; and a special December 1st concert featuring tenor Michael Schade and mezzo Norine Burgess.
Concerts are Thursdays at 8:00 p.m., with the season’s Christmas in Vienna concert on Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
The Toronto Philharmonia has an active
youth outreach program, as well as a busy touring schedule in five Ontario
communities.
