Roy Thomson Hall Presents | Devonté Hynes

SELECT CLASSICAL WORKS WITH THE TORONTO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Grammy nominated Devonté Hynes is accompanied by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, performing contemporary classical music that confronts the complexities of the 21st Century identity.

Raised in England, Devonté Hynes started in the punk band Test Icicles before releasing two orchestral acoustic pop records as Lightspeed Champion. Since 2011, Hynes has released four solo albums under the name Blood Orange.

In addition to his solo work, Hynes has collaborated with pop music superstars including Mariah Carey, A$AP Rocky, Solange, and many others. In 2018, Hynes was one of four pianists invited to play alongside Phillip Glass at the Kennedy Center, and in 2020, he was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Chamber Music or Small Ensemble Performance for his work with Third Coast Percussion on their album Fields. In 2022, he collaborated with the Brooklyn Academy of Music, as well as the LA Philharmonic, for sold out performances of his Selected Classical Works program.
