Sinfonia Toronto

Acclaimed as "A World-Class Orchestra" (review headline, Russelsheimer Echo, Germany), Sinfonia Toronto is one of Canada's finest chamber orchestras. Now entering its nineteenth season, the orchestra performs its Masterpiece Series downtown at Glenn Gould Studio and in North York at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. Sinfonia Toronto inspires Toronto... students each year with its interactive 'Concerts under Construction' program, focused on presenting in high-needs schools. Sinfonia Toronto consists of thirteen virtuoso strings. They perform standing, in the tradition of great European chamber orchestras, blending each musician's soloistic energy and passion into a brilliant ensemble style under Nurhan Arman's inspired direction. The orchestra's repertoire includes all the major compositions for string orchestra from the Baroque through classical, romantic and 20th-Century works. Sinfonia Toronto has premiered many new works, and has been praised by the Canada Council for its commitment to performing music by Canadian composers. Sinfonia Toronto's CD of music by Mendelssohn, Khachaturian and Shostakovich is broadcast frequently on Classical 96.3 and other classical stations.Read More
