Evalynn Tyros, an energetic violist from Montréal, joined the Toronto Symphony Orchestra viola section in the 2025/26 season.
Her freelancing career not only includes playing with the TSO but L'Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Houston Grand Opera Orchestra and the New World Symphony Orchestra.
Evalynn holds several degrees in viola performance, which include a Bachelor's and a Graduate Diploma from McGill University, studying with André Roy and a Master's from Rice University, studying with James Dunham.
While performance is her primary occupation, Evalynn has been an avid teacher of beginner viola/violin for the last 12 years. She has taught within many music-integrated primary and high school classes, El Sistema-inspired after-school programs, and a modest private studio. She believes music is not only an art but is a gateway to learning itself and strives to make music education more accessible.
