Oakville Symphony 2023-24 Season Brochure

2023 2024

LORENZO GUGGENHEIM MUSIC DIRECTOR

A season to share

Music has the power to evoke profound emotion, open new worlds and help us discover ourselves. We are proud to present a season where everyone is welcome to experience this at the Oakville Symphony.

You will indulge in hearing live the iconic Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and Mozart’s Symphony no. 40. But you will also discover new voices, reflecting the global sensibility of our times. We are excited to present the Canadian premiere of Overture by Jessie Montgomery and Symphony in B minor by Leokadiya Kashperova – written in 1904 but just re-discovered.

We will have thrilling performances from incredibly talented guest artists, including one of Canada’s most admired artists, TSO’s concertmaster Jonathan Crow, and internationally renowned pianist Alexander Panizza. The powerful mezzosoprano Stephanie Yelovich makes her awaited return and we invite you to discover two young rising stars, soprano Julia Surette and Sophie Lanthier on flute, winner of our own Hollier Award in 2014.

While we share our passion with all of you, we hope that you will share precious moments experiencing everything that the OS has to offer with your friends and family.

I’m looking forward to spending time with all of you throughout our season as we together experience the emotion of the Oakville Symphony.
