Orchestra Toronto

Read Profile

Orchestra Toronto is an orchestra created by passionate musicians within the community, for the community. We offer the enjoyment of music, foster education and music appreciation and support emerging Canadian talent. Our organization of volunteers is committed to making symphonic music accessible to a broad and diverse public beyond the concert hall.

Our 85-member volunteer orchestra, under the musical leadership of Music Director Michael Newnham, in the splendid acoustic of the George Weston Recital Hall in the Meridian Arts Centre in North York, rehearses weekly. In addition to our five-concert performance season, we offer annual conducting apprenticeships and youth fellowships, and sponsor a composition prize and concerto competition in alternating years.
