Mississauga Symphony Orchestra | The Heroic Symphony

Join Mayor Carolyn Parrish and the MSO for The Heroic Symphony; a Mayor’s Gala concert to begin the orchestra’s 2024/25 concert season, and a 50th anniversary celebration for the City of Mississauga! A special post-concert VIP reception with Mayor Parrish, Maestro Mastromonaco, members of Council, and special guests will wrap what will be a fantastic evening of music and networking.

The Heroic Symphony will feature two masterpieces of the Romantic era – Chopin’s first piano concerto, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 “Eroica”. Metropolis Overture, a special composition by Mississauga composer Larysa Kuzmenko, completes a program that is not to be missed.

Witness the power and heroic spirit of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, a revolutionary work that transformed the symphonic genre. Beethoven’s third symphony bridged the Classical and Romantic eras, influenced countless composers, and redefined the possibilities of orchestral music.

Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is a remarkable piece of Romantic music that showcases virtuosic piano technique and lyrical, expressive style. Composed in 1830 when Chopin was just 20 years old, it remains a timeless testament to Chopin’s genius. Eric Guo, winner of the International Chopin Piano Concerto, will join the orchestra for a thrilling performance that will showcase his abilities as an incredible concert pianist.

Originally commissioned to celebrate the City of Mississauga’s 40th anniversary, Metropolis Overture by Mississauga composer Larysa Kuzmenko traces the evolution of Mississauga from rural townships to a bustling city. Sonic depictions of farmlands, apple orchards, and the fast-paced nature of Mississauga today all resonate in this wonderful tribute to our city.
