In the midst of an extraordinary 2025/26 season defined by international artistic explorations, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra will proudly bring Canadian music and music-making to Western Europe as part of a 14-day tour spanning eight cities in six countries. Running from January 27 to February 9, 2026, the European tour celebrates the power of music to transcend national boundaries, and will be Music Director Gustavo Gimeno’s first intercontinental tour with the orchestra.

The TSO will present seven pieces split across multiple programs in different combinations. The major orchestral works include Rachmaninoff’s lush and romantic Piano Concerto No. 2, the soul-filling Symphony No. 5 by Prokofiev, the folk-inspired Violin Concerto No. 1 by Bartók, and Mahler’s heavenly Symphony No. 4. They stand alongside recent compositions by two Canadian composers: Kelly-Marie Murphy’s TSO-commissioned Curiosity, Genius, and the Search for Petula Clark and Rufus Wainwright’s “A Woman’s Face (Sonnet 20)”.
