Toronto Philharmonia
2005-2006 Profile


The Toronto Philharmonia celebrates its 34th season with a 7-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 2005-2006 programme:  romantic Russian classics with pianist David Jalbert; a celebration of the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and China with the exotic sound of erhu; great choruses for Remembrance Day with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir; a Mozart Year concert with violinist Jasper Wood; opera excerpts sung by outstanding young Canadian artists; Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto in G Minor with brilliant young Korean pianist Hong Chun Youn, back by popular demand.


Concerts are Thursdays at 8:00pm, with the October concert on a Saturday and the Christmas concert on Sunday afternoon at 2:00.


The Toronto Philharmonia has an active youth outreach program, as well as a busy touring schedule in Ontario communities.
