Sinfonia Toronto 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES Sinfonia Toronto performs its seven Masterpiece Series concerts in Grace Church on-the-Hill (300 Lonsdale Road). The Strauss & Swing Viennese Ball is on March 29, 2008. The orchestra travels to other Ontario centres, broadcasts on CBC and holds and performs a number of community outreach concerts.   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. In October 2007 the orchestra will record its second CD for Marquis Records.   Soloists for 2007-2008 include pianists Anya Alexeyev and Heather Schmidt; violinists Judy Kang and Phoebe Tsang; cellists Shauna Rolston and Karen Ouzounian, and guest conductor Paolo Ponziano Ciardi.   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 416-499-0403 sinfoniatoronto@sympatico.ca   www.sinfoniatoronto.com
