Canadian Chamber Orchestra | Movie Night

The Canadian Chamber Orchestra (CCO) is excited to announce the launch of its second season with the innovative concert, Movie Night, part of the acclaimed Living Room Listening Party series.

The musicians of CCO represent some of the finest orchestral talent in Canada, including leaders from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company, and National Ballet of Canada.

Movie Night continues the CCO’s mission to create immersive, inclusive musical experiences. Known for its conductorless, musician-led performances, the CCO recreates the relaxed atmosphere of a living room, complete with couches, rugs, and lamps, fostering an environment where our guests can relax, focus, and hear together. This concert highlights Canadian composers such as Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings) and Mychael Danna (Life of Pi), and also includes beloved songs from our Canadian Film Songbook, such as Broken Social Scene (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and Owen Pallet’s ‘The Moon Song’ (Her).

The musicians of the CCO believe that leading from the heart shouldn’t be limited to special events. Our residency at ESG includes partnering with their Food Insecurity Program. Admission is by donation of two pounds of non-perishable goods, or a pay-what-you-can ticket. We affirm our belief that everyone should have access to food, art, and shelter and our artistic initiatives serve to support local families in need. “We believe that when talent leads from the heart, everyone prospers,” says CCO cellist and Artistic Director Drew Comstock.

The CCO has also commissioned Toronto based artist Joy Zheng to create original artwork to reflect the themes of this season. Her work will be featured throughout the season, with special commemorative prints of her original artwork available at the event.

Refreshments, including snacks and popcorn, will be available during the event, and our bar will stay open for happy hour during the post-concert reception with CCO musicians.
