Sinfonia Toronto

Read Profile

Acclaimed as “A World-Class Orchestra” (German review headline), Sinfonia Toronto performs in the Trinity-St. Paul’s Center, Jane Mallett Theatre and George Weston Recital Hall.

The orchestra’s musicians play standing in an open crescent, creating intimate communication with each other and their audiences. Music Director Nurhan Arman brings a friendly, personal touch with engaging chats about each concert’s selections.

Sinfonia Toronto plays music from the last four centuries in adventurous musical journeys that mix exciting premieres with beloved Classical and Romantic works. To celebrate the orchestra’s 25th Anniversary season in 2023/24, ten composers have written new works, and programs will also include all-time favourites by Bach, Beethoven, Dvorak, Mozart, Schumann, Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi.

The orchestra performs across Ontario from Brockville to Sarnia and annually in Barrie, and has toured in China, Germany, South America, Spain and the US. Their most recent CDs were issued on Centrediscs in spring 2023: an album of works by Colin Eatock, and Shadow & Light - double concertos for violin and piano by Christos Hatzis, Alice Ping Yee Ho and Larysa Kuzmenko.
