Acclaimed as “a world-class ensemble” Sinfonia
Toronto is one of Canada’s finest chamber orchestras. The orchestra makes its home at
the CBC’s Glenn Gould Studio, where many of its concerts have been recorded for national broadcast. The orchestra has recorded for its own label, Marquis Classics EMI, Cambria and Analekta.
Sinfonia Toronto consists of thirteen virtuoso strings. They perform standing, 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. It has premiered many new works.
Sinfonia Toronto is heard across Canada and beyond in a wide range of styles. Its CD of
music by Mendelssohn, Khachaturian and Shostakovich is broadcast frequently on
Classical 96.3 and other classical stations. Their world premiere of the rediscovered
Bach aria ‘Alles Mit Gott’ was recorded by Analekta and released on iTunes. The title work on the orchestra’s Marquis Classics CD of music by Canadian composer John Burge, Flanders Fields Reflections, won the 2009 JUNO Award for Best Recording of a New Classical Work. The Hollywood Flute CD, with flutist Louise DiTullio, a new CD
titled Premieres featuring violinist Conrad Chow are on Cambria label distributed by Naxos.
Sinfonia Toronto’s first international tour in 2008 in Germany was a resounding success, resulting in reviews with headlines such as ‘’A World-Class Ensemble,’’ ‘’Sinfonia Toronto Inspires,’’ and ‘’Sinfonia Toronto Thrilled the Audience.’’ The orchestra’s two-week tour of Spain in October 2010 was greeted with calls for encores at each performance, with a thrilling four encores demanded by the audience at the renowned l’Auditori in Barcelona.
In addition to its Masterpiece Series in Glenn Gould Studio, the orchestra will present two concerts in 2012-13 in Toronto’s George Weston Recital Hall.
