A symphonic doubleheader! In a week marking the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death and concluding the TSO’s two-year Beethoven symphony cycle, we pair the composer’s First and Second Symphonies in all their brilliance and charm. Between them, TSO principals Joseph Johnson (cello) and Heidi Elise Bearcroft (harp) shine in World Premières by Canadian composer Kevin Lau and TSO Composer Advisor Emilie LeBel.

Please note: Beginning in the 2026/27 season, Masterworks will be known as Classics.
