As we were reading through Maestro Kerry&#8217;s notes that he left for future program ideas, this one jumped out at us. The program, centred around bird-inspired pieces for luscious full orchestra, was a symphonic love letter for his wife, Elizabeth, an avid bird photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Although we will have to save Kerry&#8217;s exact program for when we can assemble a full orchestra, we were inspired by the love Kerry showed for Elizabeth and called on couples from within our orchestra. Together with our lovebirds, we explore how love and birds are depicted through music.<\/p>\n<p>Some repertoire highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Piazzolla&#8217;s Nightclub by Laura Chambers and Dan Morphy<\/li>\n<li>A lively Rondo from Mozart&#8217;s G Major duo for violin and viola by Adam and Rebecca Diderrich<\/li>\n<li>Sharon Lee and Marcus Scholtes chase each other through Telemann&#8217;s canon for two flutes, re-imagined for two violins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Join us every other Tuesday, starting on June 16.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/torontoconcertorchestra.com\/live-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 16, 2020, 7:30 PM<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Lovebirds in Song, Songbirds in Love<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Love-themed duets, bird-inspired titles (This one borrows from Kerry\u2019s programming for Elizabeth)<\/p>\n<p>We explore love stories within the orchestra, and ways love is depicted in music by reliving some moments from last season as well as new content created by our musician couples.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/torontoconcertorchestra.com\/live-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 30, 2020, 7:30 PM<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Thank you, Canada!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TCO has had the incredible honour of performing our national anthem in many locations.
