For Immediate Release: January 23, 2014
TSO Announces the 2014/2015 Season of
Great Symphonic Music!
93rd Season Features a Focus on the Keyboard
with a Two-Week Piano Extravaganza Festival Curated by Emanuel Ax
Season Launches with a European Tour in August
January 23, 2014 - Earlier today, TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian announced the 2014/2015 season
of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO), the Orchestra’s 93rd season. The 2014/2015 season also
marks the beginning of the Maestro’s second decade on the podium with the TSO.
“Music speaks to us like no other art form. A single musical phrase can sweep us away to a different
time and place in our lives, and can evoke powerful emotional responses,” said TSO Music Director
Peter Oundjian. “How lucky we are to be able to experience great live orchestral music on a regular
basis, performed by world-class musicians right here in Toronto.”
Great orchestral music is key for the 2014/2015 TSO season! The TSO will celebrate the piano –
arguably the most versatile of instruments. A wooden box containing metal strings, a soundboard and
small hammers can make the most beautiful, moving, and heart-wrenching sounds. The TSO will pay
tribute to the piano by presenting a season rich with demanding and exciting repertoire performed by
Canadian and international guest pianists, including the two-week Piano Extravaganza in February
curated by and featuring Emanuel Ax. Mid-season, a new Steinway piano will be unveiled!
The new season will launch in August 2014 when the TSO embarks on a tour of international summer
festivals, the first overseas tour for the TSO since 2000 and the first to be led by Music Director Peter
Oundjian. The Orchestra will perform a send-off concert at Koerner Hall as part of the Toronto
Summer Music Festival on August 12, 2014, followed by a ten-day, six-concert tour of festivals in
Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, and Iceland.
Acclaimed Canadian violinist James Ehnes and distinguished German composer and clarinetist Jörg
Widmann will be the featured soloists for the tour repertoire that includes Weber’s Overture to Oberon
and Clarinet Concerto No. 1, Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, Vivier’s
Orion, Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, Widmann’s Elegie for Clarinet and Orchestra, Rachmaninoff’s
Symphonic Dances, and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11 “The Year 1905.”

“Returning to Europe demonstrates that the TSO is a world-class orchestra that deserves to perform
on the international stage,” added Peter Oundjian. “The Toronto Symphony Orchestra represents the
city of Toronto on the world stage, and establishes us as a key player in the international music scene.”
While the major focus on the piano takes place in February, the celebration of the piano takes place
throughout the entire season. Beginning in September, Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov, winner of the
2011 Tchaikovsky Competition when he was just 20 years old, will perform Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody
on a Theme of Paganini in a concert that also includes Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 “Choral”. In
October, Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili will charm audiences with Chopin’s Piano Concerto No.
2 before the Orchestra performs Rachmaninoff’s majestic Symphony No. 2. Both pianists are making
their TSO débuts. Other notable debuts and famous piano concerti also appear throughout the season.
The 2014/2015 season also boasts an impressive roster of guest artists and special programmes such as:
former TSO Music Director Jukka-Pekka Saraste leading Ukrainian pianist Valentina Lisitsa, in her
TSO début, with Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. TSO Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis
will direct Canadian pianist Louis Lortie in Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1, and superstar cellist Yo-Yo
Ma in Elgar’s Cello Concerto. Armenian-Canadian soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian will be joined by
fellow Armenian artists in a special concert featuring the world premiere of a Suite from the film
Ararat by Academy Award winning Toronto composer Mychael Danna. In a salute to the Pan Am
Games in 2015, the TSO presents the World Première of Cuban-born pianist and composer HIlario
Durán’s Concerto for Latin Jazz Trio and Orchestra. The Barenaked Ladies teams up with the TSO
again for a holiday concert mash-up of their greatest hits and seasonal faves. Principal Pops Conductor
Steven Reineke is at the helm for Disney’s beloved Fantasia Live in Concert—a high-def screening of
the classic film with live accompaniment by the TSO for all the dancing hippopotami! And this season,
the TSO will launch a new pre-concert performance series featuring The TSO Chamber Soloists.
Opening Gala with Violin Virtuoso Joshua Bell, September 18, 2014
The 2014/15 home season kicks off with another major fundraising initiative for the TSO, a season
opening gala led by TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian and featuring celebrated violinist Joshua Bell.
Bell will perform Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole with the Orchestra, which will also be treating the
audience to Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture and Rimsky-Korsavkov’s Capriccio espagnol.
Piano Extravaganza Festival with Emanuel “Manny” Ax, February 4-14, 2015
TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian and GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist and Piano Extravaganza
Festival curator Emanuel Ax, have created a Festival that places the piano front and centre in eight
ticketed concerts and a series of free events in and around Roy Thomson Hall. Russian pianist Pavel
Kolesnikov, the 2012 Honens Prize Laureate, will join Oundjian and Ax for his TSO début in a
programme that includes an Impromptu by Schubert, Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 14, Chopin’s
Grande Polonaise, and Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances.

Jan Lisiecki returns to the TSO this season to perform Mozart’s Concerto in E-flat major for Two
Pianos and Orchestra with Emanuel Ax, in a programme that also includes Saint-Saëns’s The Carnival
of the Animals (which will also be performed twice on Saturday, February 7 in the Young People’s
Concert Series Pianorama, on this occasion featuring young pianists from around Toronto and
conducted by Music Director Peter Oundjian), and a World Première/TSO Commission from RBC
Affiliate Composer Kevin Lau.
It is a true piano extravaganza on February 12 when pianists Stewart Goodyear, piano-duo Anagnoson
& Kinton, and Ax perform the original piano versions of works ultimately arranged for large orchestra.
Experience Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphoses after Themes by Carl Maria von Weber, Brahms’s
Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn, and Ravel’s La valse performed side-by-side with the
orchestral versions of each work.
Pinchas Zukerman, making his final Toronto appearance as Music Director of the National Arts Centre
Orchestra, offers a hearty programme of two Brahms concertos: the first featuring the soloists
Zukerman and Principal Cello of the NAC Orchestra, Amanda Forsyth; and the second the remarkable
pianist, Yefim Bronfman.
Emanuel Ax will join Rob Kapilow for an entertaining and informative exploration of Beethoven’s
Piano Concerto No. 4. Under the loving scrutiny of the What Makes it Great® programme, Kapilow
takes listeners inside the music to hear why a piece is so extraordinary.
Emanuel Ax will also preside over a series of free events throughout the Festival including piano master
classes at The Royal Conservatory; Pianopalooza, a 4-hour piano marathon at Koerner Hall; lunchtime
concerts featuring operatic piano transcriptions in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre at the Four
Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts; a chance for piano students to play the TSO’s new Steinway on
stage at Roy Thomson Hall, and so much more! The Piano Extravaganza Festival is presented in
partnership with The Royal Conservatory of Music.
New Creations Festival Curated by George Benjamin, February 28-March 7, 2015

throughout its history the TSO has been active in fostering the work of emerging artists and composers.
For the 11th annual New Creations Festival (NCF), TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian shares the
podium with Britain’s George Benjamin, NCF curator, conductor and composer.
Recently named Musical America’s Composer of the Year, Benjamin will lead a Canadian Première of

Tocar y Luchar; the North American Première of Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen’s song cycle let
me tell you; and the World Première of a new work by Canadian composer Chris Paul Harman,
commissioned by the TSO. In memory of the late French composer Henri Dutilleux, the orchestra will

One hundred and fifty years after his birth, Carl Nielsen’s rich, poetic symphonies will be performed
alongside the music of his idols, Beethoven and Mozart. The TSO welcomes back Danish conductor

Jan Lisiecki for five concerts. The repertoire features Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 “The
Inextinguishable”; Symphony No. 2 “The Four Temperaments”, and Symphony No. 5. Beethoven and
Mozart are represented by Beethoven’s Piano Concertos No. 3, 4, and 5 “Emperor,” and Mozart’s

Music Director Peter Oundjian, who founded the Mozart Festival ten years ago, has invited Bernard
Labadie, one of the world’s leading conductors of the Baroque and Classical repertoire, to curate and
lead Mozart@259.
The Festival opens with two concerts exploring Mozart as a performer of his own works. Italian pianist
Benedetto Lupo, in his TSO début, will perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 before the Orchestra
and Labadie present Symphony No. 31 “Paris.” The next evening, TSO Concertmaster Jonathan Crow
joins the programme and play/leads two additional masterpieces with his TSO colleagues: Mozart’s
Serenade No. 6 “Serenata notturna,” and Sonata No. 15 for Organ and Strings, which also features
Patricia Krueger, TSO Principal Keyboard.
Mozart@259 next features Gordon Wolfe, TSO Principal Trombone and Andrew McCandless, TSO

respectively, in a programme of works by Mozart’s family, friends and future admirers including
4
Haydn’s Symphony No. 60 “Il distratto,” Peter Schickele’s Eine kleine Nichtmusik, and Mozart’s own,
A Musical Joke.
Mozart composed fluently and tirelessly, but sometimes he only created fragments of works. The
Festival concludes with selections from Mozart’s Zaide and Lo sposo deluso, as well as the Mass in C
minor with a cast that includes Canadian soprano Hélène Guilmette and mezzo-soprano Julie
Boulianne in their TSO débuts, Canadian bass-baritone Gordon Bintner, and the Toronto-based
Amadeus Choir and Elmer Iseler Singers.
Sir Andrew Davis: 40 Years on the TSO Podium, May 22-29, 2015
TSO Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis served as TSO Music Director from 1975-1988 and has
appeared with the TSO every season since 1974. The 2014/2015 season will mark his 40th consecutive
year on the podium with the TSO, one of the longest ongoing relationships between a conductor and an
orchestra.
With three programmes under the baton of Davis this season, the Orchestra will pay tribute to his longterm creative association with the TSO. These concerts showcase works conducted by Sir Andrew
Davis over the past 40 years.
The celebration opens with the mighty Verdi Requiem, featuring the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir and
introducing TSO audiences to soprano Amber Wagner, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, and tenor Frank
Lopardo. Bass Eric Owens returns to round out this vocal quartet.
The second programme features repertoire from significant TSO tours under Sir Andrew’s leadership
including Louis Lortie performing Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 (China tour,1978), Davis’s own
composition La Serenissima (European Tour, 1983), and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition
(Northern Odyssey Tour, 1987).
The homage concludes with a very special concert with the illustrious cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the
Toronto Children’s Chorus (founded at the request of Sir Andrew Davis in 1978) in a programme that
includes Elgar’s Cello Concerto, Holst’s The Planets and the World Première/TSO Commission for
composer Edward F. Davis’s New Work for Children's Choir and Orchestra,
Steven Reineke’s 3rd Season as TSO Principal Pops Conductor, first concert October 18, 2014
This season, TSO Principal Pops Conductor Steven Reineke will lead all five Pops programmes (15
concerts) which include a celebration of the Beatles on the 50th anniversary of their first North
American tour; a Celtic Christmas with Canadian folkies Leahy; From Bach to Bluegrass with Time
for Three, a self-proclaimed classical garage band; from decades of TV history, television’s most
memorable theme songs and catchy tunes with a symphonic twist in As Heard on TV; and closing the
Pops season, The Wizard & I: Broadway Hits, the musical journey of Steven Schwartz, composer of
5
such “Popular” Broadway shows as Godspell, Pippin, and Wicked. Steven Reineke will also lead the
special Pops presentation of the cherished Disney film, Fantasia Live in Concert.
The Second City Guide to the Symphony, November 29-30, 2014
The legendary Second City comedy theatre brings its unique blend of sketch comedy, satire, songs, and
improvisation to an entirely new stage—Roy Thomson Hall! This unique collaboration with the TSO
brings together Toronto’s leading musical and comedy minds to explore their shared love of the
symphony orchestra. This light-hearted comic performance will take on all things orchestral, from the
colourful musicians, to the mighty Maestro, from send-ups of classical music history and conventions
to the manners and mannerisms of our beloved audiences. Conducted by Peter Oundjian, the Second
City Guide to the Symphony is guaranteed to be the funniest musical night of the year!
Turin Royal Theatre presents Rossini’s “William Tell” conducted by Gianandrea Noseda,
December 5, 2014
Gianandrea Noseda, the highly sought-after Conductor and Music Director of the Turin Royal Theatre
(Teatro Regio Torino), will bring his orchestra, cast and chorus (a company of 200), to Toronto for
their North American début, to perform Rossini’s William Tell, including: baritone Fabio Maria
Capitanucci (William Tell); soprano Elena Mosuc (Matilde); tenor Piero Pretti (Arnold); bass Mirco
Palazzi (Walter Furst); bass Giacomo Prestia (Melcthal); soprano Erika Grimaldi (Jemmy); mezzosoprano Anna Maria Chiuri (Hedwig); bass Luca Tittoto (Gessler); tenor Mikeldi Atxalandabaso (A
Fisherman), and tenor Luca Casalin (Rudolph).
William Tell was Rossini’s last written opera, even though the composer lived for nearly forty more
years. The opera’s length and challenging casting requirements have contributed to the scarcity of fullscale productions, but the famous overture has become a major work in the classical repertoire and
recordings. William Tell, a rare treat for Toronto audiences, will be performed as an opera-in-concert,
in Italian with English supertitles.
Holiday Programming, December 7-21, 2014
The Toronto Symphony Orchestra has performed Handel’s Messiah with the Toronto Mendelssohn
Choir every December since 1932. In the 2014/2015 season, internationally acclaimed Welsh
conductor Grant Llewellyn returns to the podium to lead the TSO, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir,
and an all-star Canadian cast of soprano Jane Archibald, mezzo-soprano Allyson McHardy, tenor
Lawrence Williford, and bass-baritone Philippe Sly, also a début, in five concerts in December.
Christmas with the TSO also offers a family Christmas concert with a screening of the animated film
The Bear accompanied by the TSO; a Celtic Pops concert with the award-winning Canadian folk band
Leahy, conducted by Steven Reineke; and Canadian pop band Barenaked Ladies returns to the TSO for

The TSO 2014/2015 Season Launches
THE TSO CHAMBER SOLOISTS
Curated by Concertmaster Jonathan Crow
New Free Pre-Performance Chamber Concert Series
January 23, 2014 - Earlier today, TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian announced the 2014/2015 season
of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO), the Orchestra’s 93rd season, including an exciting new
series of pre-concert performances featuring The TSO Chamber Soloists.

occasional special guest, curated by Concertmaster Jonathan Crow. The concerts will take place on
stage at Roy Thomson Hall from 6:45pm–7:15pm.
“I believe that chamber music is an integral part of orchestral playing. The skills developed in
chamber music—listening, reacting, communicating in the moment with colleagues—are so essential to
great orchestral playing. We are fortunate to have a music director who encourages us to develop our
own musicianship and truly make music together on stage,” said Jonathan Crow. “Peter’s chamber
music background with the Tokyo String Quartet is truly inspiring to me. The idea of working with a
conductor who brings the skills of world-class string quartet playing to his work with large orchestra is
one of the main reasons I came to Toronto to work with the TSO.”
