Violinist Ray Chen, a favourite of TSO audiences, returns with Sibelius’s sweeping Violin Concerto—icy, bold, and unforgettable. Then, in a week celebrating the 80th birthday of John Adams, one of today’s foremost composers, the orchestra takes on his Harmonielehre —inspired by a vivid dream, its three movements surge from shock and ache to pure exhilaration.
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 6:15pm included with the price of your ticket to the Thursday, February 18 performance.
