SUMMARY:Toronto Symphony Orchestra | Tchaikovsky + Brahms
DESCRIPTION:One of the foremost violinists of his generation\, Frank Peter Zimmermann performs Brahms’s spellbinding Violin Concerto in a virtuosic display of soaring cadenzas and lyrical\, intimate dialogue with the Orchestra. Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony\, performed side by side with the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra\, takes on an alternatively menacing theme–surrendering to Fate. His tumultuous personal life\, resulting breakdown\, and composer’s block are all reflected in the movements\, from sweet yearning\, to despair\, to the crashing inescapability of one’s destiny. Adding to the excitement are two World Premières commissioned by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra from NexGen Composers Julia Mermelstein and Christina Volpini.

SUMMARY:Canadian Opera Company | Don Pasquale
DESCRIPTION:Gaetano Donizetti’s Don Pasquale returns to the COC for the first time in 30 years in a Technicolor production by Renaud Doucet and André Barbe. The French-Canadian creative team make their company debut with a lighthearted family feud: the aging Pasquale refuses to let his love-struck nephew Ernesto get married only to unwittingly choose his nephew’s beloved Norina as his own bride-to-be. The comic bel canto opera features COC favourites soprano Simone Osborne and tenor Santiago Ballerini as the young lovers\, and Georgian baritone Misha Kiria making his company debut in the title role.

SUMMARY:Tafelmusik | Transformations: Bach & Rameau
DESCRIPTION:Known for his “mesmerizing” (Ludwig van Toronto) performances\, Kristian Bezuidenhout returns as harpsichordist and guest director for a program curated especially for Tafelmusik. \nTransformations draws on music that has morphed from one form to another by way of transcriptions\, reworkings\, and arrangements. \nPosthumous orchestral arrangements of several of Rameau’s pieces for solo harpsichord are an homage by an anonymous admirer of Rameau\, inspired by others that Rameau himself had arranged for his operas. Handel did the reverse in his Trio Sonata in G Major\, adapting movements from no fewer than five operatic precursors to create a sonata for two violins and continuo. We in turn transform the sonata into a suite for orchestra\, retaining the selection of movements\, but reverting to Handel’s original orchestrations. \nThe theatre is the ultimate palace of transfiguration\, and the magic of the London theatres inspired Purcell’s Ayres for the Theatre. \nNo exploration of baroque transformations would be complete without J.S. Bach\, the ultimate musical alchemist. Bach transcribed his own A-Minor Violin Concerto for a different instrument in a new key\, culminating in the thrilling Harpsichord Concerto in G Minor. Bezuidenhout\, whose playing is nothing less than “beguiling” (Gramophone)\, champions this dazzling work. \nDirected by Kristian Bezuidenhout\, harpsichord

SUMMARY:The Royal Conservatory of Music | Brentano String Quartet with Jonathan Biss\, piano\, and Joseph Conyers\, bass
DESCRIPTION:The critically acclaimed Brentano String Quartet perform Schubert’s “Trout Quintet” with virtuoso pianist Jonathan Biss and award-winning double bassist Joseph Conyers. \nSince its inception in 1992\, the Brentano String Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. Described as “passionate\, uninhibited and spellbinding” (The Independent)\, the Quartet has performed across five continents in the world’s most prestigious venues\, including Carnegie Hall\, the Library of Congress in Washington\, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam\, the Konzerthaus in Vienna\, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall\, and the Sydney Opera House. They make their Koerner Hall debut this season. “The Brentanos are a magnificent string quartet …This was wonderful\, selfless music-making.” (The Times) \nWorld-renowned pianist Jonathan Biss channels his deep musical curiosity into performances and projects in the concert hall and beyond. In addition to performing with today’s leading orchestras\, he continues to expand his reputation as a teacher\, musical thinker\, and one of the great Beethoven interpreters of our time. “His reputation as an eloquent interpreter with a powerful technique … has established him as one of his generation’s most serious musical thinkers.” (The New York Times) \nDescribed by the Grand Rapids Press as “a lyrical musician who plays with authenticity that transcends mere technique\,” Joseph Conyers has performed with numerous orchestras as soloist\, including the Alabama\, Flagstaff\, and Richmond symphonies\, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia\, and the Sphinx Symphony. He was appointed assistant principal bassist of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2010 and won the job of Principal Bass in May 2023. Conyers joined the Philadelphia Orchestra after tenures with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Grand Rapids Symphony\, where he served as principal bass\, and Santa Fe Opera.
