This is a list of amazing concerts we are attending, wishing we could attend, or thinking about attending between February 21 –  27, 2022. For more details on what’s happening around Toronto, visit our calendar here.

Toronto Symphony Orchestra | Find Your Dream: The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein

📅  Tuesday — February 22, 2022, 8 pm ET (Repeats Feb. 23)
📍 LINK
💸 $41+

If you’re a sucker for a good show tune, the TSO’s Pops series should be on your radar this week. Why? Conductor Steven Reineke will lead the Orchestra alongside two Broadway veterans Emily Padgett and Josh Young. You’ll hear classics from The Sound of Music, Carousel, Oklahoma!, and South Pacific. | Details

Royal Conservatory | Víkingur Ólafsson

📅  Thursday — February 24, 2022, 8 pm ET
📍 LINK
💸 $55+

Piano lovers should be lining up for this. Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson will be performing works from his latest Mozart-heavy CD at Koerner Hall. Ólafsson just might be the most exciting thing to come out of Iceland since Björk, and to hear him at the acoustically pristine Koerner Hall is a treasure. | Details

Royal Conservatory | Angèle Dubeau & La Pietà: Elle – 25th Anniversary Concert

📅  Friday — February 25, 2022, 8 pm ET
📍 LINK
💸 $21+

It’s hard to believe Angèle Dubeau’s La Pietà ensemble is 25 this year. This Friday, they will be in town to celebrate with a collection of classical music by mostly living composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Olafur Arnalds, Max Richter, and more. Who should go? Besides fans of Dubeau, this is an excellent concert to bring a teenager too — especially one who’s never been to a concert like this. | Details

Toronto Symphony Orchestra | Beethoven’s 4th

📅  Saturday — February 26, 2022, 8 pm ET (Repeats Feb. 27)
📍 LINK
💸 $29+

For those looking for a more varied, slightly unusual program, this is your jam. You’ll hear celebrated Chinese-American conductor, Xian Zhang lead Principal Flute Kelly Zimba Luki in Carl Nielsen’s rarely heard Flute Concerto. The concert also features Nokuthula Ngwenyama’s haunting Primal Message for string orchestra. The show closes with Beethoven’s fourth. | Details

Elixir Baroque Ensemble | 2022 Elixir Mixer

📅  Sunday — February 27, 2022, 5 pm ET
📍 LINK
💸 $25

For those looking for a vibrato-free vibe and a cold elixir in hand, we recommend checking out the Elixir Baroque Ensemble this Sunday. This unique group was started over a decade ago by harpsichordist Sara-Anne Churchill. It grew into a duet, a trio, and a full chamber ensemble. Tickets will be sold at the door beginning at 4 pm. Capacities may be limited, so please arrive early. | Details
