Musical Toronto\u2019s weekly Critic\u2019s Picks are a fully curated list of some of the best concerts happening now through the end of the week.

For a look at the full breadth of what\u2019s available in and around Toronto, check out the comprehensive concert listings from our friends at Wholenote Magazine.<\/p>\n

We’d have to agree, Repin is a monster talent, with seemingly endless abilities. He joins pianist Svetlana Smolina to perform Bart\u00f3k\u2019s Violin Rhapsody No.1, Debussy\u2019s Violin Sonata, Ravel\u2019s Tzigane, and Stravinsky\u2019s Divertimento. Tickets are selling fast.

The event is a celebration of Louis\u00a0Andriessen\u2019s 75th birthday. | DETAILS<\/a>.<\/p>\n Toronto Symphony Orchestra |<\/span> New Creations Festival: Casual Series: Written on Skin<\/em> at Roy Thomson Hall. 7:30 p.m. $33-145<\/p>\n Closing the Toronto Symphony Orchestra\u2019s new music festival, is a very special opera-in-concert presentation of George Benjamin\u2019s Written on Skin<\/em>. The New Yorker\u2019s Alex Ross called it, \u201cas immaculate as anything that Benjamin has written, or, for that matter, anything composed since the heyday of Ravel.\u201d If that were enough, soprano Barbara Hannigan again\u00a0perform along with Krisztina Szab\u00f3, Lestyn Davies, Isaiah Bell, Christopher Purves, and George Benjamin conducting. As this is a casual concert, so save your fancy pants for another night. There will be a pre-concert performance in lobby and a post-concert chat on stage. | DETAILS<\/a>.<\/p>\n *NB: Don\u2019t forget to set your clocks one hour ahead tonight for that momentous point we\u2019ve all been waiting for: Daylight Savings Time!<\/p>\n Royal Conservatory of Music |<\/span>\u00a0Kahane Swensen Brey Trio<\/em> at Koerner Hall. 3:00 p.m. $30-80<\/p>\n Does the name Kahane Swensen Brey Trio sound familiar? After a 25-year hiatus the virtuosi musicians reunited in 2012, and are now here in Toronto to perform a program of piano trios by Mozart, Schumann, Ravel, and Schoenfield. These are three incredible\u00a0musicians and will offer a sure bang for your buck| DETAILS<\/a>.<\/p>\n .Mooredale Concerts |<\/span> The Vienna Piano Trio<\/em> at Walter Hall, Edward Johnson Building. 3:15 p.m. $20-30<\/p>\n The Vienna Piano Trio are one of the most noted trio ensembles in the world, and are best known for their specialization of repertory by composers closely associated with Austria: Brahms, Schubert, and Haydn, and Dvor\u00e1k. Highly recommended for those looking for a true European chamber music experience. | DETAILS<\/a>.<\/p>\n Music Toronto |\u00a0<\/span>Till Fellner <\/em>at Jane Mallett Theatre. 8:00 p.m. $10-55<\/p>\n Over the past few years pianist Till Fellner has dedicated himself mastering Bach\u2019s Well-Tempered Clavier and the 32 piano sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven. Then in 2012 he disappeared from the stage to devote himself to the study of new repertoire and to deepen his knowledge of composition, literature and film. Since then he has become an extraordinary deep and thoughtful artist, who\u2019s talent will grace the Toronto stage for the first time. Not-to-be-missed. | DETAILS<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Talisker Players |<\/span>\u00a0at Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre. 8:00 p.m. $15-35<\/p>\n Tonight takes a dark turn, with music and words in search for meaning in a hostile world. Like listening to Barber\u2019s Dover Beach while stuck in traffic on the Gardner, perhaps? Talisker Players will be performing works by Barber, Shostakovich featuring Ilana Zarankin, soprano, Joel Allison, baritone, and Stewart Arnott, reader. | DETAILS<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nSorry, there are no polls available at the moment.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Musical Toronto\u2019s weekly Critic\u2019s Picks are a fully curated list of some of the best concerts happening now through the end of the week.
