The world-famous Kronos Quartet brings the latest of its 650-plus commissioned works to the TSO: a concerto by Canadian composer Derek Charke. Teng Li, the TSO's gifted Principal Viola, performs Peter Eötvös's ingenious Replica for soloist and orchestra.

PRE: At 6:45 enjoy 20th Century Hungarian works for piano, violin, and clarinet performed by The Hungarian Connection

POST: Jane Bunnett (multiple Juno winner and recipient of the Order of Canada) plays with her award winning ensemble, The Spirits of Havana, which uniquely combines modern jazz with Afro Cuban roots music.

Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra commission is generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Casual Concerts are performed without an intermission and are followed by a party in the lobby. Mingle with musicians in a relaxed setting and enjoy live music by local bands.
