Performers include Concert Masters of NACO and the Edmonton Symphony, Yosuke Kawasaki and Robert Uchida, cellist Joseph Johnson and clarinetist Miles Jacques of the TSO, and many more. This Winter/Spring, join us for fresh interpretations of musical classics, including a masterful rendition of Mozart’s “Gran Partita,” conducted by music director Evan Mitchell of the Kingston Symphony in May. This season we will have six concerts with two performances of each program in two locations: St. Andrew-bythe-Lake Church on beautiful Toronto Island, and St. George-the-Martyr Martyr Church, located at 197 John Street in the heart of the city. Brunches are available by reservation at our Sunday Island performances.

Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects, the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre plays a vital role in the renaissance of downtown St. Catharines, serving as the catalyst in modernizing the area and reinforcing the brilliance of Niagara region’s diverse cultural cluster.

We offer the enjoyment of music, the fostering of education, music appreciation and the support of emerging Canadian talent. Our organization of volunteers is committed to making symphonic music accessible to a broad and diverse public beyond the concert hall. With a concert season of five performances in the splendid acoustic of the George Weston Recital Hall at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, we offer musical excellence, a warm sense of community, and innovative programs. Our commitment to music in the community extends beyond our schedule of weekly rehearsals and five performances: we offer student fellowships for accomplished musicians under age 18; five annual conducting apprenticeships; and an annual concerto competition for young soloists. Jennie Worden 416-467-7142 info@orchestratoronto.ca www.orchestratoronto.ca ●●Reaching Out Through Music Founded in 2007, Reaching Out Through Music provides musical opportunities to the youth of St. James Town, one of North America’s most densely-populated and ethnically diverse communities. We seek to enrich children’s lives by offering active participation in choral, instrumental, and other programs, including the opportunity to attend some of the myriad concerts in the City of Toronto. We create social opportunities for children by encouraging them to share a love of music, performance and teamwork through collaborative choral and instrumental ensembles. A critical part of child development, music education provides children with cognitive and emotional benefits that have a lifelong impact on learning and social skills. ROTM has a tradition of hosting benefit concerts yearly (often with popular silent auctions), featuring both worldrenowned artists and our own students. Under the direction of Cheryll Chung, and assisted by Jacqueline Teh, the St. James Town Children’s Choir is expanding and increasing the number of musical learning opportunities for its members, culminating in a Gala Fundraising concert on April 27, 2019. Our dedicated teachers and volunteers look forward to an enriching season.

Show One is responsible for many debuts and has produced very special collaborations, including a big ticket premiere of the play “Brodsky/Baryshnikov” that featured the longawaited return of Mikhail Baryshnikov to Toronto, and the world premiere of the exclusive, oncein-a-lifetime performance by Dmitri Hvorostovsky with Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov in an unprecedented gala evening at the Canadian Opera Company (COC) this past season. The upcoming Show One season will feature a rare recital by our beloved Sondra Radvanovsky at Koerner Hall; the world-renowned Slava Snow Show; and the Eifman Ballet featuring their brilliant production “Tchaikovsky”, as well as the return of the Vakhtangov Theatre with the play “Masquerade.” Further compelling projects are continually added to the roster. Check our website for more details.

Equally important is introducing Ukrainian art songs to vocal students along with audiences everywhere through its annual Ukrainian Art Song Summer Institute, published anthologies and regular live performances. Artistic director and founder, British bass-baritone Pavlo Hunka, has assembled a stellar cast of Canadian operatic performers both for recordings and performances. The principal piano accompanist for the project is Albert Krywolt. Since 2004, the label has recorded 388 dramatic songs by composers such as Lysenko, Stetsenko, Stepovyi, Turkewich, Barvinsky, O. Nyzhankivsky, Volynsky and N. Nyzhankivsky. The latest compilation, Galicians II, can be heard on the UASP website. Musical scores for Ukrainian art songs are published on the UASP website in the Ukrainian Millennium Foundation Online World Library and are available for download free of charge. Plans for 2019 include live performances and the annual Ukrainian Art Song Summer Institute in August. Please visit us at ukrainianartsong.ca or Facebook for further details.
