Backstage Tour
Maestro’s Club Fall Reception
October 24, 2017 Roy Thomson Hall, Toronto
November 13, 2017 The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto
Our fall Backstage Tour took place in late October and included a journey through the nooks and crannies of Roy Thomson Hall, breathtaking views from the stage, and a fascinating glimpse into the TSO library where the sheet music for your most beloved masterworks is safely tucked away.
The TSO’s annual Maestro’s Club fall cocktail reception featured remarks from Interim Chief Executive Officer Gary Hanson and TSO Board Chair Cathy Beck, a toast to Music Director Peter Oundjian, and a lovely performance by Concertmaster Jonathan Crow, Principal Viola Teng Li, and Principal Cello Joseph Johnson.
Impresarios Club Winter Salon February 1, 2018 The Albany Club, Toronto Each year, the Impresarios Club—the TSO’s young-professional donor group— hosts specially curated Salon events. In February, Impresarios Club members and guests gathered at The Albany Club for their Winter Salon. A performance from members of the TSO cello section (Principal Joseph Johnson, Associate Principal Emmanuelle Beaulieu Bergeron, Alastair Eng, and Britton Riley) was the highlight of the evening.
