Celebrating his 50th birthday, beloved Canadian violinist James Ehnes offers a gift to TSO audiences with Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, delivered with dazzling virtuosity. Guillaume Connesson’s Maslenitsa , a vibrant portrait of the Russian spring festival, opens the program, and Saint-Saëns’s “Organ Symphony” brings it to a grand close, played on Roy Thomson Hall’s magnificent Gabriel Kney organ by Rachel Mahon.
Enhance your concert experience by arriving early for exquisite performances by the TSO Chamber Soloists , thoughtfully curated by Jonathan Crow. There will be a pre-concert performance at 1:45pm included with the price of your ticket to the Sunday, November 29 performance.
