Toronto Symphony Orchestra

A full house at Roy Thomson Hall last week for Anoushka Shankar’s unforgettable TSO début 👏

Awww, marking our final Young People’s Concerts of the season with these adorable snaps from some of our Education team 🥺

“It’s been a vivid reality for 35 years and right now, everything is so sweet—I’m just appreciating everything and everyone.”

As she wrapped up her final season after 35 years, TSO flute and piccolo Camille Watts took it all in: every minute, every moment, every person and every tune: “The sound of this orchestra, the sounds that we make are extraordinary. And that’s the pinnacle that I will miss.”

But beyond the music, it’s the people she holds closest: “As for my flutes, there is so much love. Kelly, Kayla, Leonie, and behind them Julie Ranti, Nora Shulman and Virginia Markson, all generous musicians and humans, playful, collaborative, close on stage and off. I have been blessed knowing and playing with these women.”

“it was clear that everyone was looking forward to seeing the conductors’ work alongside the TSO, and perhaps even more importantly, to get a sneak peek at how conducting, well, works”

What a morning at Roy Thomson Hall this past weekend for our Women in Musical Leadership Masterclass with Tapestry Opera and fellows Serena Reuten, Monica Chen and Eve Legault 👏

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a behind-the-scenes look at the craft of conducting and to Stacy Lee Kong for so thoughtfully capturing the experience—give it a read here: bit.ly/4dBJgd5
