If you\u2019re a sucker for a good show tune, the TSO\u2019s Pops series should be on your radar this week. Why? Conductor Steven Reineke will lead the Orchestra alongside two Broadway veterans Emily Padgett and Josh Young. You\u2019ll hear classics from The Sound of Music, Carousel, Oklahoma!, and South Pacific. |\u00a0Details<\/a><\/p>\n

Royal Conservatory | V\u00edkingur \u00d3lafsson<\/h3>\n

Piano lovers should be lining up for this. Icelandic pianist V\u00edkingur \u00d3lafsson will be performing works from his latest Mozart-heavy CD at Koerner Hall. \u00d3lafsson just might be the most exciting thing to come out of Iceland since Bj\u00f6rk, and to hear him at the acoustically pristine Koerner Hall is a treasure. |\u00a0Details<\/a><\/p>\n

Royal Conservatory | Ang\u00e8le Dubeau & La Piet\u00e0: Elle \u2013 25th Anniversary Concert<\/h3>\n

?\u00a0 Friday \u2014 February 25, 2022, 8 pm ET

\n? $21+<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe Ang\u00e8le Dubeau\u2019s La Piet\u00e0 ensemble is 25 this year. This Friday, they will be in town to celebrate with a collection of classical music by mostly living composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Olafur Arnalds, Max Richter, and more. Who should go? Besides fans of Dubeau, this is an excellent concert to bring a teenager too \u2014\u00a0especially one who\u2019s never been to a concert like this. |\u00a0Details<\/a><\/p>\n

Toronto Symphony Orchestra | Beethoven\u2019s 4th<\/h3>\n

For those looking for a more varied, slightly unusual program, this is your jam. You\u2019ll hear celebrated Chinese-American conductor, Xian Zhang lead Principal Flute Kelly Zimba Luki in Carl Nielsen’s rarely heard Flute Concerto. The concert also features Nokuthula Ngwenyama\u2019s haunting Primal Message<\/em> for string orchestra. The show closes with Beethoven\u2019s fourth. |\u00a0Details<\/a><\/p>\n

For those looking for a vibrato-free vibe and a cold elixir in hand, we recommend checking out the Elixir Baroque Ensemble this Sunday. This unique group was started over a decade ago by harpsichordist Sara-Anne Churchill. It grew into a duet, a trio, and a full chamber ensemble. Tickets will be sold at the door beginning at 4 pm. Capacities may be limited, so please arrive early. |\u00a0Details<\/a><\/p>\n
