Toronto, January 31, 2024 – Sinfonia Toronto has just announced their 2024-2025 season. The orchestra is currently celebrating its 25th season with premieres by Canadian and international composers and the return of beloved works and popular guest artists.
Commenting on the new season, Music Director Nurhan Arman said, “I am absolutely delighted with the roster of guest artists and the repertoire for our 2024-2025 season. It will be an absolute pleasure to make music with some soloists we are featuring again, like violinists Haik Kazazyan, Conrad Chow and pianists Anya Alexeyev and Sunny Ritter. And I am looking forward to collaborating with some wonderful artists who will make their debut with us – pianist Marianna Shirinyan, violinist Christina Bouey and David Baik, soprano Dominika Zamara, accordionist Maciej Frackiewicz and oboist Caitlin Broms-Jacobs – a great mix of Canadian and European artists making debuts with Sinfonia Toronto.”
About the orchestra’s repertoire for next season, Maestro Arman noted, “As always we will play a greatly varied, diverse repertoire. I am looking forward to performing favourites by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert and also premieres by Canadian composers Barbara Assiginaak, Norbert Palej, Andrew MacDonald and Kevin Lau. Part of our mission is to keep growing the repertoire.”
Sinfonia Toronto’s Director of Operations Margaret Chasins added, “We have also been working towards several recording projects that are likely to happen next season. We are grateful for support for our recent recordings and new works from SOCAN, the Ontario Arts Council and FACTOR, and espeically all the years of support from our audiences in the GTA and throughout Ontario. From our first few seasons onward we have played for audiences all over Ontario, from Sarnia to Sault Ste-Marie, Barrie to Brockville and in many other Ontario communities.”
During the 2024-2025 season Sinfonia Toronto will continue serving both downtown Toronto and uptown and the 905 with concerts at the Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre, the Jane Mallett Theatre and the Meridian Arts Centre in North York.
