TSO presents

Fasten your seat belts and blast off to the stars as TSO Conductor Emeritus Peter Oundjian leads Holst’s sonic, celestial showpiece, which vividly portrays each planet’s astrological persona—from menacing Mars to jolly Jupiter and beyond. Legendary violinist Joseph Joachim called Mendelssohn’s concerto “the heart’s jewel,” and 25-year-old Canadian sensation Timothy Chooi will draw out every ounce of its radiant warmth and soaring beauty. The Toronto Children’s Chorus conjures up a world of fairy-tale magic in music inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
