Sinfonia Toronto’s strings perform standing, in the tradition of great chamber orchestras, blending each musician’s soloistic energy into a brilliant ensemble under music director Nurhan Arman. A roster of winds and percussion joins the strings for programs drawn from the chamber orchestra repertoire. Soloists for 2005-2006 include pianists Robert Silverman and Michael Esch, violinists Scott St. John, Etsuko Kimura, Leonid Peisahov, Konstantin Popovic, cellist Rafael Hoekman, percussionist Beverley Johnston, and guest conductors Carlo Palleschi and Giuseppe Lanzetta. Sinfonia Toronto has been acclaimed by critics. The Toronto Star writes of “a remarkable range of colour,” “ample eloquence” and “gripping authority,” while La Scena Musicale declared, “Nurhan Arman and his orchestra literally conquered us.” Nurhan Arman, music director and conductor Margaret Chasins, administrator 264 Bloor Street West, Box 52545, Toronto ON M5S 3C5 416-499-0403 sinfoniatoronto@sympatico.ca www.sinfoniatoronto.com |
