Join us for a characteristically eclectic and entertaining season of uplifting and life-affirming music-making at Heliconian Hall.

Each concert looks at the power of music to elevate, comfort and stimulate, and leads us to encounters with the mysteries and unknowns of life. From Hildegard von Bingen to Queen and everything in between.

This concert will include a complete performance of the Missa Gaudeamus by Tomas Luis de Victoria, featuring some of the most dynamic and engaging singers in Toronto.

Since its 1979 debut, this outstanding music and theatre (and musical theatre!) organisation has been offering performances of some of the great musical, operatic and dramatic gems of the past century. Still under the direction of the company's founder, Joe Cascone, the company presents virtually all facets of musical and dramatic performances. From the hits of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Loewe, Stephen Sondheim and Jerry Herman to lesser-known masterpieces by unsung composers and playwrights, the company's high quality of production and performance has been their much-heralded standard. In 2026, the world-renowned play AMADEUS (the highly fictionalized lives of Mozart and Salieri and their fascinating musical and professional relationships) is being presented at the historic VideoCabaret Theatre from July 15 to 26.

PIANO LUNAIRE is a contemporary music collective based in Toronto and New York City, pursuing the presentation of artistic excellence in the 21st Century. Founded in 2018 by pianist/composer Adam Sherkin, the company's portfolio is three-fold: to produce monthly full moon performances plus a MainStage series, "Composers In Play,” to house a recording-publishing label and, finally, to commission keyboard-centric works from a swiftly evolving roster of new-gen composers. 

Correspondingly, our mission comprises three mandates: 1) present new and dynamic music written from the last seventy-five years to present; 2) give voice to emerging professionals in the vibrant scene that is the new music ecosystem and; 3) offer audiences a direct, challenging and ultimately supportive concert experience, as they engage with the music of today and the artists of the future. 

It is Piano Lunaire's aim that our collaborations and performances spark new artistic and social developments. We hope to contribute to the evolution of classical music by challenging of existing norms of concert presentation and concert content, broadened to include living composers whose practices represent a diversity of lived experiences and cultural backgrounds.
