James Ehnes Plays Tchaikovsky

Thu, Nov 26–Sun, Nov 29, 2026 Roy Thomson Hall

Celebrating his 50th birthday, beloved Canadian violinist James Ehnes offers a gift to TSO audiences with Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, delivered with dazzling virtuosity. Guillaume Connesson’s Maslenitsa, a vibrant portrait of the Russian spring festival, opens the program, and Saint-Saëns’s “Organ Symphony” brings it to a grand close, played on Roy Thomson Hall’s magnificent Gabriel Kney organ by Rachel Mahon.

Enhance your concert experience by arriving early for exquisite performances by the TSO Chamber Soloists, thoughtfully curated by Jonathan Crow. There will be a pre-concert performance at 1:45pm included with the price of your ticket to the Sunday, November 29 performance.
