MONDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Associates of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Trinity-St Paul’s Centre, 7:30 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n


    \nThe last of this season’s five concerts featuring members of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in a chamber-music setting offers an enticing musical meal. The main course is Franz Schubert’s much-loved F Major Octet<\/em> (D 803) that brings together a string quintet featuring principals Teng Li (viola) and Jeffrey Beecher (double-bass) with a woodwind trio featuring a relative newcomer, the TSO’s associate principal clarinet Yao Guang Zhai. The appetizer is a quintet by Franz Danzi (1763-1826), who neatly straddles Haydn and Schubert in style as well as sensibility. You’d never know it now, but, in his day, Danzi, was considered to be the master of German opera.<\/p>\n

    Tickets are $20 at the door.<\/p>\n

    Here’s the fourth movement Andante and variations of the Schubert Octet<\/em>, led by violinist Janine Jansen:<\/p>\n
