The New Creations Festival wraps up with a fantastic concert highlighted by the premières of two TSO commissions. Inspired by Mahler, Andrew Staniland's new work continues the festival theme of music from the past inspiring the music of today. Steven Mackey's Four Iconoclastic Episodes for electric guitar and orchestra was inspired by music he enjoys, including jazz/rock fusion, African pop, and Chicago blues. And Tod Machover's new piece is a unique collaboration with you, the citizens of Toronto.

In the months leading up to its March 9, 2013 world première at the TSO’s New Creations Festival, composer, Orchestra, and Torontonians will collaborate to write a work for, by, and about our city. To follow and contribute to the progress click here.
