Julian Rachlin with his violin

Fire & Ice: Shostakovich & Sibelius

Sat, Nov 16–Sun, Nov 17, 2024 Roy Thomson Hall

Ana Sokolović masterfully weaves together intricate rhythms, lush harmonies, and striking contrasts in her Concerto for Orchestra, followed by Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto, with its haunting and expressive melodies embodying the fiery resilience of the human spirit, and Sibelius’s First Symphony, evoking scenes of snowy Finnish landscapes and the quiet strength of winter.

Travel Advisory (November 16)

We are anticipating an increase in traffic in the area due to the Taylor Swift concert at Rogers Centre, which could impact your arrival time for your concert. We encourage you to consider taking transit or adding additional travel time to ensure you don’t miss a moment of this concert. Please review the City of Toronto advisory and road closure information.
